Thanks for the info, I didn't know you could drink hydrosols. What is the best ways to package the hydrosols? Should I use plastic or glass containers and where is the best place/temperature to store them at?

Plastic bottle,

Glass is the best medium for hydrosol. You can use cobalt glass to store hydrosol in a home use quantity

But for large quantity (over 500 ml or one and half liter) alternatively you could use high quality rigid plastic.
