essential oil christmas recipes

by Alison Harriman

Creating your own seasonal atmosphere with essential oils is very easy and inexpensive.

Here's two Christmas house sprays -

4 drops pine essential oil, 2 drops mandarin essential oil and 1 drop cinnamon essential oil. Dilute into a teaspoon of vodka and add to 300 ml of spring water in a spray bottle. Or, 4 drops mandarin essential oil, 1 drop geranium and 1 drop cinnamon. As with any liquid, avoid spraying on wooden surfaces.

And a mulled wine recipe. Amounts given are for 1 litre of good quality red wine -

Into 2 tablespoons of organic honey blend 2 drops orange essential oil, 2 drops mandarin essential oil, and 1 drop each of cinnamon and clove. Heat the wine slowly in a non metallic pan. Add the honey blend and stir well while still on the heat. When the wine mixture starts to bubble, take it off the heat and serve.

Merry Christmas from the Merry Sage!
