We are suffering through a heat wave in many parts of the country, including New York State where I live. Figuring we could all use a little cooling relief, I came up with this easy all-natural formula with a fresh, invigorating fragrance and a nice cooling effect.
It turns out that making your own body spray is really easy! Mint is a traditional cooler, and lemon adds some uplifting zing. You can keep it in the fridge for an extra blast of minty refreshment. It makes a great gift, too. Here’s the easy formula:
INGREDIENTS
1 cup vodka
Peel from 1 organic lemon
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, shredded
1. Place all ingredients in a lidded jar and shake well. Allow to macerate for at least 3 days, shaking daily, then strain out solids and discard.
2. Place cologne in a spray bottle and use whenever you need a refreshing spritz.

Perfect timing- I love to find more uses for mint- it is certainly plentiful enough! And the spray only needs to sit a few days- i am betting it will work as an insect repellent as well! Flies,at least HATE peppermint! Thanks!
thankyou
This sounds so great!
Hmm?
This sounds so refreshing and I have plenty of mint growing in the garden. Thanks for the article.
I love this recipe for cooling the soul and body. I don't know about the vodka. Perhaps, maybe, alcohol, would do the same. I have to try it. Thanks for sharing this wonder cooling spray.
