Last night I was doing my usual herb-y things as of late; reading, reading, reading, and I finally got the inspiration to create once again! I have seriously cut down my kitchen witching as of late for the simple fact that my day job revolves around herbs. Don't get me wrong I am thrilled about my wonderful job, but I was seriously missing the playfulness and sensory enchantment of creating solely for fun!
Well, tonight, full of love, I decided to whip up a sensuous botanical elixir. This love potion consists of:
-2 pts. Damiana
-2 pts. Rose Petals
-1 pt. Ashwagandha
-1/2 pt. Cacao Nibs
-1 good sized Codonopsis root, chopped
-A small splash of red wine (optional, I just thought it was romantic!)
-Pinch of Ginger root
-Pinch of Hawthorn leaf, flower, and berry
-2 Vanilla beans, chopped. 1 would probably be enough, but I LOVE vanilla energy!
-Honey
-A good quality Vodka
Directions: Fill the herbs up in the jar, lovingly. (I filled mine about half way.) Cover herbs with the honey, mmm. (Also about half way.) Fill the jar to the top with a nice Brandy or Vodka, I happened to have a nice vodka on hand. I will be letting this blend macerate for only to weeks, in time for my sweetie for Valentine's day of course!
(Hope he doesn't read my blog, otherwise my cover's blown!)
In-Joy! Love,
Jessie
