If you're using fresh roses from your organic garden, remove the petals from the stems. Gently mist your petals with water to clean them, being careful not to bruise them. Remove any dirt or bugs. If you're using dried petals, skip this step. The amount of roses you use is entirely up to you. Try to use petals from least three full fresh roses, or one cup of dried rose petals.

Place a small glass bowl in the center of a large pot. Place petals into the pot and around the bowl before adding the distilled water. Make sure you don't get distilled water directly into your bowl. The rose-infused condensation will collect on the underside of the pot lid, then drip down inside the clean bowl, giving you pure, concentrated rose water.

Turn of the heat and wait for your pot to cool completely. Remove bowl of steamed rose water. Pour into an airtight container.

Note: You can also use the rose water that's remaining around the rose petals in the large pot. First, Pour off your rose water over a strainer into a large bowl. Let it sit so the water can drip from the petals. Store in the same or a separate airtight container, if desired.
