- Lavender Sweet Water -
Crone's Corner
Sir Hugh Platt's "special sweet water to perfume clothes, in the folding, being washed."
Add a splash to the rinse water or sprinkling shirts and sheets before ironing and you will sleep so peacefully!
"The lavender has a calming effect."
Ingredients:
100 drops (5 ml) lavender oil
5 drops peppermint oil*
1 1/2 fluid oz. (45 ml) vodka (highest proof available)
20 oz. distilled or still spring water
Blend the essential oils with the vodka in a small glass bowl. Stir well to amalgamate. Pour water into a large glass bottle. Add oil mixture to water. Please note: The linen water may be cloudy. This is normal and won'tstain linen. Shake bottle before you use it.
* Optional. Used to enhance and freshen lavender fragrance.
