This week I took my Herbs for the Holidays presentation to 2 local prestigious garden clubs. I shared several ways to incorporate home-grown herbs in thier holiday cooking, gift giving and decorating...
As I was about to describe how to make "Lavender Linen Spray", one young woman (also ML) exclaimed that she "loves to iron" and enjoys using linen sprays while ironing her sheets! Now that is some kind of woman --ironing her sheets...Do you? Not me. I've sent them to be pressed a couple of times!
A great "home made" Christmas gift is "Lavender Linen Spray" , particularly when given to those of us with a 4 legged sleeping companion! Lavender is an indulgence that helps some feel a bit tired, thus bringing on restful sleep!
Here is the recipe and some ideas for containers:
Lavender Linen Spray
- 1 tsp. lavender essential oil
- 1/4 cup unflavored vodka
- 3 1/2 cups filtered/distilled water
Pour the distilled water into a fine mist spray bottle. Add drops of essential oil, then vodka, shake well. You're probably wondering why the vodka? It helps to disperse the oil and water together & speeds up the drying process on your sheets so they aren't stained or sour!
The Container Store sells all sorts of BPA free plastic containers and fine mist sprayers. I would suggest going with a 8oz. or 16 oz. bottle.
I've ordered some containers, and will report...
Blessings from the Garden.
