Homemade Lavender Water Recipes
Lavender water can be used in a variety of ways around the house. Some ideas:
- When washing bedding and linens, add some lavender water to the rinse cycle. Your bedding will have a light lavender scent (lavender helps those with sleep problems).
- Use when ironing, spritz a bit of the lavender water on the items being ironed. Will add a nice lavender scent to the garment.
- Lavender water can also be used as a beauty aid, try it as a skin freshener on hot summer days, a hair rinse, splash in the bath or dab around temples for headache relief.
- Insect repellent, try it for mosquito repellent use as well as a mosquito bite itch helper. Lavender deters flies and other insects too.

Mix the essential oil and vodka together then add vodka? Do you mix the oil with the vodka or water first?
Oops! Thanks Sylvia, I fixed it. It should be: mix oil & vodka first, then add water.
I use lavender water in the kitchen for a first aid for burns,and also for bites its wonderfull
I’ve been looking for this recipe for Lavender water using fresh lavender for some time! Thank you so much for this…I have so much Lavender and want to make both the water and the wands. It would be a shame to waste this precious flower!
i was wondering is there a way to make the lavender water witout the vodka ? in fact without alcohale ?
There could be brit but I just have recipes that use vodka, sorry I couldn’t help more.
I have made the lavender water but it is brown in color.
I cannot use it while ironing as it stains my whites. I have bought lavender water for ironing before. How do they get it colorless?????
The commercial lavender water is likely made with essential oils rather than a true lavender bud infusion. If your lavender water is too dark and causes staining, you can dilute it with water.
