Scale
Floral Ingredients
- 1 tbsp dried lavender
- 1 cup rose petals
- Roses or rose buds, stems removed (about 6 spray roses)
- 1/2 cup fresh chamomile flowers
- 1 sprig of fresh mint
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
Essential Oils
- 10 drops rose essential oil
- 10 drops lavender essential oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium pot or Dutch oven, add the dried lavender, rose petals, rose buds, fresh chamomile flowers, fresh mint sprig, and thinly sliced lemon.
- Add Water: Pour enough water into the pot to reach about 4 inches deep, ensuring there is ample liquid to allow ingredients to simmer gently.
- Add Essential Oils: Carefully add 10 drops of rose essential oil and 10 drops of lavender essential oil to the mixture for enhanced fragrance.
- Simmer: Place the pot on the stove over low heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. Keep the heat low to avoid boiling; boiling will ruin the delicate floral scents.
- Maintain & Refill: Let the mixture simmer for several hours, checking periodically and adding more water as needed to prevent drying out.
- Enjoy the Aroma: Allow the floral steam to fill your space, refreshing as needed. Turn off when done and discard the flowers responsibly.
Notes
- Keep the heat low to maintain a gentle simmer; avoid boiling the flowers to preserve their fragrance.
- Refill the water periodically to prevent drying and burning of ingredients.
- You can use a variety of fresh or dried flowers based on availability and scent preference.
- Do not ingest the simmer pot contents; this is for aromatic purposes only.
- Essential oils added enhance scent but should be food-grade and safe for aromatherapy use.
