In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to turn any plant into an infused hydrosol spray. You can use this technique to make your own green tea toner, lavender calming spray, or just as a way to preserve your favourite flowers as a fragrance or refresher spray!
Store it in the fridge, as it’s pure distilled water it should last a couple of months and doesn’t need any preservative. But do keep an eye on it and if you notice a change in colour or smell, discard immediately!
