Basic Perfume Recipe
2 cups water
1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms
In a bowl, place cheesecloth so that the edges are hanging over the bowl. Fill cheesecloth with 1 cup of flower blossoms of your choice. Pour water over the flowers until completely covered.
Cover and let sit overnight. The next day bring the edges of cheesecloth together and gently pull it out of the bowl making sure not to let any of the flower blossoms fall into the water. Gently squeeze the scented water into a small pot. Simmer the water until 1 teaspoon is left. Cool and place into a small bottle with a tight fitting lid. Perfume made this way has a shelf life of approximately 1 month.
Flowers you may use: Lavender, Lilac, Orange Blossoms, Honeysuckle, Rose – any highly fragrant flower will work. Experiment and enjoy!
