Supplies
- Small funnel
- Cool looking jar w/ cork
Ingredients
- Rum ( Coconut )
- Witch Hazel mint or plain
- Tea Tree essential oil
- Black pepper essential oil
- ginger essential oil
- tangerine essential oil
- bay leaf
- 3 cloves
- piece of tangerine peel
- two leaves off of mint
- one star anise
The Rum and Witch hazel are the base. Fill the bottle 3/4 or so with half rum and half Witch Hazel.
Put in a drop or two of each essential oil in the bottle. Then take the fresh leaves and the
bay leaf and crush them well, placing them in the bottle. Roll the tangerine peel well to let the scent seep out. And drop in the cloves.
Now, you’re supposed to let it sit for awhile (week or so) to let everything steep well. But, not wanting to wait, I found out that sitting the bottle in hot water for awhile (30 min-1
hr) speeds up the steeping. That way you can use it in a day or two instead of in several weeks.

My hubby is using apple cider vinegar. Need I say more? How can I tell him it smells horrid when he’s trying so hard to be environmentally friendly? This sounds MUCH better. Thanks for the great idea!
