For this simple yet effective recipe, gather:
- 300 ml of warm (not boiling) water
- 1 tablespoon dried peppermint (or a few drops of essential oil)
- 1 tablespoon of dried flowers (lavender or chamomile) or 4 to 5 drops of essential oil
- 100 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- A tinted glass spray bottle (ideally dark)
Tip : If you don’t have any essential oils, don’t panic! Herbs from your garden or cupboard will do the trick.
Easy Steps to a Top-Notch Homemade Spray:
-
Prepare the fragrant infusion:

Heat the water, but do not boil it. Add the mint and dried flowers, then let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. This gently releases the aromas.
-
Filter carefully:
Strain the infusion to remove any residue. You want a clear liquid, ready to mix.
-
Mix carefully:
Add the lemon juice and cinnamon. Stir well to dissolve the cinnamon. The aroma is already very pleasant!
