Lavender-water
Ingredients
Directions
Pick the lavender flowers from the stalks.
Place the flowers in a cold still and add the water.
Distill very slowly over a slow fire.
After distillation, clean the still and return the lavender water to it.
Distill the lavender water again as slowly as before.
Bottle the double-distilled lavender water and cork it well until needed.
