Equipment

  • 1 Small saucepan
  • 1 Metal strainer
  • 1 Mason Jar (for Rosemary Water Hair Rinse)
  • 1 spray bottle (for Rosemary Water Scalp Spray)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups distilled water

Rosemary (choose one)

Instructions
 

  • Wash Rosemary: If using fresh rosemary, wash the sprigs thoroughly to remove any dirt and other contaminants.
  • Boil Water: Bring 3 cups of distilled water to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Add Rosemary: Add your clean rosemary to boiling water and allow to boil for 5 minutes before turning the heat down to low.
  • Steep For 30 mins: Cover the lid and let the rosemary water mixture simmer for up to 30 minutes. It should look like the color of tea and rosemary will sink to bottom.
  • Allow To Cool: Shut the heat off and let the mixture cool down to room temperature.
  • Strain: Use a metal strainer to strain out the rosemary leaves from the water mixture and transfer to your choice of container (a mason jar or a spray bottle).
  • Store: Place your freshly made rosemary water in the fridge for up to 10-14 days.

Notes

Usage Tips: 
  • Do NOT overcook the rosemary on high heat. This will degrade its natural quality. 
  • Use distilled water (versus filtered water) as it is free of harmful minerals and will reduce microbial growth.
  • Try to use the rosemary water batch within a week to reap its potency and benefits. However, if you are unable to do so, pour the mixture in ice cube trays and freeze for later use!
  • Use the leftover rosemary leaves to make a DIY rosemary oil recipe for hair growth!
  • If using the hair rinse, use it at least twice a week. If using as a scalp spray, use it between washes.
Caution: Use your discretion and monitor your hair’s health if you decide to use the spray daily. If hair feels dry and brittle, skip a day or two of usage and or follow up with a good deep conditioning treatment to bring your hair’s balance back.
Alternatively, you can also dilute the strength of your rosemary water by adding more distilled water.
