Peppermint Cooling Spray

As the United Kingdom hit its second heatwave of the summer, I thought I would share a quick and easy recipe to help you cool down by using peppermint.

One of peppermint’s plant power is its cooling and soothing effect on the skin. Which makes it a handy herb to use during a heat wave. I have a fab, little recipe so you can make a gorgeous peppermint hydrosol and turn it into a cooling spray.

To make this recipe you will need:

1. A handful of peppermint or peppermint tea bags

2. A tea infuser pot or if using tea bags, you will need a large cup

3. An atomiser spray bottle

Recipe Instructions:

1. Add your peppermint to a tea infuser tea pot and pour in enough boiling water to fill your atomiser spray. Steep for a minimum of 15 minutes.

2. Alternatively add your peppermint to a cup and pour in enough boiling water to fill your atomiser spray. Steep for a minimum of 15 minutes.

3. Once cooled pour your peppermint hydrosol into your atomiser spray

4. Keep your refreshing spray in the fridge so it's nice and cold.

5. When feeling hot and bothered or having a hot flush, spritz on to your face and body to enjoy the cooling sensation of your peppermint spray

6. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Safety Note:

Always spot test before using on sensitive skin.

I hope you enjoy this gorgeous little recipe.
