Rose Infused Witch Hazel
Soothing roses and anti-inflammatory witch hazel combine in this beautiful rose infused witch hazel – perfect to use as a facial toner, for bug bites, acne, sunburn, varicose veins & more!
My roses are in full bloom this week and I’ve been busily preserving them in all sorts of ways!
I first made this lovely rose infused witch hazel several years ago and decided to include it in a gift basket for my mom.
Here’s what her gift looked like in the photo below.
I included:
Rose Infused Witch Hazel
Rose Face & Body Cream
Rosa Rugosa Soap
I stuffed fresh roses & petals all into it instead of extra tissue paper to hold things in place. She loved it!
How to Make Rose Infused Witch Hazel
To make rose infused witch hazel you only need:
fresh rose petals
witch hazel extract
I buy organic witch hazel from Mountain Rose Herbs, but you should be able to find a similar, high quality witch hazel at your local drug store.
Step 1:
Gather the rose petals, make sure they’re bug free and then stuff them into a jar. (Jar size will vary depending on how many petals you can gather.) You want to fill the jar rather full, but not packed too tightly. (If you don’t have fresh petals, you can use dried. You won’t get as stunning of a color, but it will still have beneficial properties.)
Step 2:
Pour the witch hazel over the petals until the jar is completely filled. Cap with a non-metallic cap and let sit in a cool, dark place for several days, or up to one week.
Step 3:
Strain and pour the resulting colored liquid into a glass jar for storage. If you’d like a more intense color, pour the strained witch hazel over a fresh batch of rose petals to create a double infusion. Store the infused witch hazel in the refrigerator.
