Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Stockpot with lid or any large, tall pot with a lid
  • 2 Heat-safe bowls 1 for collecting the hydrosol and 1 for placing upside down in your stockpot.
  • 1 4oz Spray Bottle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz dried lavender
  • 4 cups distilled water

Instructions
 

  • Place 1 bowl upside down in your stockpot and place the other bowl right-side up on top of that one. This just keeps your collection bowl out of the water and herbs.
  • Pour in the distilled water and herbs.
  • Put the lid on your stockpot upside down. This allows the steam to rise, collect on the lid, roll down the lid, and drip into your collection bowl.
  • Simmer on low heat for about 20-30 minutes.
  • Allow your hydrosol to cool then store it in a cute jar or spray bottle. If you plan to use it sparingly, store it in the fridge. For everyday use, you can store it at room temperature for a couple of weeks.
