Invest in the best organic Vodka for the following recipes, I like UK5 from:

Summer Cocktails:
Vodka Preparation:
Add 3 drops of organic lavender essential oil to the 70dl UK5 Vodka bottle.
Leave for 24 hours and then have a mini vodka shot... just to test if you
have enough Lavender of course! If you would like it more Lavender
pronounced add another drop or two and let infuse for another 24 hours.
Keep in the freezer and use the Lavender Vodka for ice cold Vodka shots or
for cocktail making. I love it with ginger and lots of fresh mint.
Lavender Room Spray:
Instantly refresh, deodorise and clear energies from any room, just spray
Lavender Water. Here's the recipe:
Get a 100 ml (or thereabout) glass bottle with a spray. Mix 1 tablespoon
of Lavender essential oil with 4 tablespoons of high proof vodka,leave for
2 days to infuse. Fill up the rest of the bottle with purified or bottled
water. Shake well and enjoy your new Lavender room spray.

Lavender is the single most precious ingredient in the world of cosmetics and healing. It’s the Queen of Herbs, its essential oil is versatile and a must have in any medicine cabinet as well as in the bottom of every handbag.
Unlike other essential oils, pure Lavender can be used neat directly onto the skin, making it an all rounder natural First Aid Kit. Apply directly to mild burns, cuts, abrasions, spots, rushes and insect bites and stings. For tension headaches massage one drop around the temples or just inhale a drop on a piece of cotton. Its natural therapeutic actions are antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic (reduces pain), antiviral, fungicidal and detoxifying. Being both a sedative and an uplifting tonic, it will have a relaxing effect when used in small doses and an uplifting effect in large ones. So keep in mind that if you want to relax one drop of lavender is all you’ll need.
Keep a little bottle of Lavender in your bag so that its always there when you need it. Always buy Organic Lavender for its pure healing powers. I recommend:
We love our precious high altitude Organic French Lavender and we use it abundantly in our products:
Formula 1 & Formula 2 Moisturisers
Over the next few days I’ll be giving a recipe for a summer lavender home spray.
