Lemon Balm Bug Spray
As promised, here is my recipe for Lemon Balm Bug Spray. Lemon Balm is such a great herb and is really effective in this formula. Here ya go!
Lemon Balm Bug Spray
Ingredients:
1 cup of dried lemon balm leaves
A sprig or two of dried catnip and/or mint
Witch Hazel Extract
Essential Oil (optional)
Directions:
1. Fill a glass jar with the herbs and pour witch hazel extract on them to the top of the jar.
2. Let this combo sit in a cool, dark place for about 1 week.
3. Strain the herbs out of the witch hazel solution and add any essential oils of your choosing to the depth that you like. I really like using lemon balm essential oil in the solution as it amps up the lemony scent.
3. Store in a cool, dark place for up to one month.
4. If taking this spray camping and/or outdoors, just store it in a cooler.
