Instructions

  1. Small 4014636337 9b1a1e83f3

    First, go to the nearest park/backyard/neighbor's lawn/restaurant/whatever and pick about 6 roses. Make sure you ask the plant first/ It helps to have at least one given to you by someone who loves you. This could be anyone!

    Once you have the roses, pick all the petals off. Loves me, loves me not... hopefully you love yourself, because that is what real beauty is all about! Tear the petals off and infuse them in four cups of boiling water. Cover with a lid and let boil for a long time, stirring occasionally. The extraction process is finished when the water turns a pale pink color.

    Finally, use a coffee filter to strain the water into bottles. Put away in your potion cabinet or drink it in front of a magic mirror...
