Distilling Hydrosols (Video) width="560" height="315" frameborder="0">Join Mother Earth Living’s Editor-in-Chief, Hannah Kincaid, as she explains the basic setup instructions and distillation tips for making steam-distilled hydrosols. Rose water and witch hazel are the two most commonly recognized hydrosols on the market today, but these decadent floral waters can be made from a wide array of fresh plant material, including peppermint, cedar, sage, chamomile, and even non-aromatic plants, such as plantain, nettle, and yarrow. Use the finished hydrosol in homemade body care products or incorporate them into sauces, simple syrups, pastries, cocktails, and other edible treats. <h3>For more information on hydrosols check out these great articles and resources:</h3> <p><a href="https://www.motherearthliving.com/health-and-wellness/aromatic-hydrosols-zm0z18jazols" target="_self" rel="noopener">Hydrosols: Where Aromatherapy and Herbalism Meet</a><br /> <a href="https://www.motherearthliving.com/health-and-wellness/homemade-hydrosols-zm0z18jazols" target="_self" rel="noopener">Making Hydrosols on the Stove</a><br /> Distilling Hydrosols and Essential Oils with Liz and James Fulcher<br /> <a href="https://www.motherearthnews.com/podcast/hydrosols-zepz1802zcbru" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hydrosols Podcast with Liz Fulcher</a></p> <p><strong>Recipes</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.motherearthliving.com/health-and-wellness/homemade-face-cream-zm0z18jazols" target="_self" rel="noopener">Rosemary’s Perfect Homemade Face Cream</a><br /> <a href="https://www.motherearthliving.com/food-and-recipes/recipes/hydrosol-douglas-fir-cocktail-zmrz18jazols" target="_self" rel="noopener">Douglas Fir Hydrosol Cocktail Recipe</a><br /> <a href="https://www.motherearthliving.com/health-and-wellness/natural-beauty/natural-spray-deoderant-ze0z1806zcoy" target="_self" rel="noopener">Natural Spray Deodorant</a></p> <p></p>
