This divinely scented vanilla mist is a gorgeous way to scent your hair
and body. A little spritz of this comforting aphrodisiac scent instantly sets
the mood to cozy and romantic.
YIELDS: 8 ounces
3 vanilla beans
8 ounces witch hazel
What you will need: cutting board, knife, 8-ounce bottle with cap,
funnel
1. To Make: Slice the vanilla beans into thin strips and cut into smaller pieces.
Place them into the bottle. Fill it up with witch hazel and shake well. Store
it in a cool dark place for at least two weeks. Ideally you will remember to
shake it up daily, but it’s okay if you skip a day or two. The longer you
leave the vanilla beans to soak, the stronger your infusion will be. When
you’ve reached your desired strength, strain out the vanilla and use a funnel
to pour the brew back into the bottle.
2. To Store: Label with expiration date of 2 years and store in a cool dark
place out of direct sunlight.
3. To Use: Shake well before each use. Use as a facial toner for normal to oily
skin or as an aromatic body, hair, linen, or room spray.
SKINCARE SECRETS
If you plan to use this Aromatic Vanilla Infusion in facial care,
consider mixing 1 part aloe vera juice with 3 parts Aromatic Vanilla
Infusion for added benefit. Start with a high quality witch hazel, easily
found at a health food store or online, that has a higher percentage
of witch hazel extract than alcohol.
