Laundry or Cocktails

•  A Mission Jar
•  Lavender buds
•  VODKA?!

Use: Spritz on skin, freshen clothes or in the rinse cycle of your washing machine when washing bedding and linens!

I kid you not. The following recipe was posted in The Tennessean on June 29, 2009.

1. Fill the jar with lavender and cover completely with VODKA. Seal jar.
2. Place jar in a sunny location for about 18 days, rotate and shake the jar each day, morning and night.
3. Strain the lavender from the vodka and seal liquid in a clean glass jar.
4. Use as needed as a spray to spritz on skin, freshen clothes or in the rinse cycle of your washing machine when washing bedding and linens!

Gotta love that. So that’s how Southern women achieve that gorgeous, dewy skin and easy manner.

Can someone assure me that this is a typo or is this suggested use of the lovely concoction a wonderful Southern invention?

Now, the question is, can you carry a gun while spritzing your skin and/or sleeping in lavender vodka sheets? CalGal
