How do i make lavender water?

Question

i need to make my mom some lavender water for her birthday(i used all of hers XD) and i would buy some except i know that she really likes it when i make her stuff myself (i am very crafty),but all the recipes i've found use vodka and lavender oil, which i cannot get because i am a minor. i know that sometimes rose water is made by boiling 1 part rose petals with 2 parts water, and then straining it, but would that work for lavender water? i have an entire garden full of fresh lavender, as well as a few bunches of dried lavender, so if anyone has a recipe for lavender water that doesn't use vodka or lavender oil or any type of alcohol it would be greatly appreciated (not to mention rewarded with 10 pts!)

Answer 1

you can try plain rubbing alcohol. make some test samples.

soak the buds with the alcohol and some water, give em a good stir and keep them in a cool dark place and shake em up every other day for a week.

cant hurt to try it :)
