Ah, the full moon. That big, glowing beacon in the night sky that makes us all feel a bit more connected, a touch more magical. Have you ever gazed up at it and thought, "Tonight's the night for a bit of potion-making"? No? Well, dear friend, buckle up because we're about to dip our toes (and a few herbs) into the enchanting waters of DIY Florida Water – the kind that guards your vibe and cleanses your spirit with the power of the full moon.
Now, before we get our cauldrons bubbling (I mean, our stainless steel pots – we're modern witches, after all), let's gather around our virtual kitchen table, pour ourselves a cup of tea (or whatever warms your soul), and chat about what makes this potion so special. Florida Water is like the Swiss Army knife of the spiritual world; it’s your go-to for cleansing, protection, and even just lifting the mood. Plus, making it under the full moon? Talk about charging this concoction with some extra cosmic oomph!
So, are you ready to brew some botanical magic? Here’s our sacred shopping list:
1 Thai lime, sliced: Because nothing wards off the bad energy like the zest of a lime.
1/8 cup of dried lavender (plus a bonus tablespoon for good luck): For peace, relaxation, and that “ahhh” feeling.
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary: Think of these as your spiritual bodyguards.
1 tablespoon dried peppermint: For a breath of fresh energy.
1 sprig of fresh basil: It’s like a prosperity magnet – cha-ching!
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon: A little spice to warm the soul and attract abundance.
1 sprig of fresh oregano: Because protection is the name of the game.
4 cups of spring or distilled water: The purer, the better, my friends.
2 cups of 40% vodka (shoutout to Costco’s Kirkland brand): For preservation and a hint of “spirit” in your spirits.
Here’s How We Brew This Potion:
Commence on a Full Moon Night: It's all about timing. The full moon's like that friend who brings out your best – everything’s just more powerful with them around.
Boil, Baby, Boil: Pop all your ingredients, except for that extra tablespoon of lavender and the vodka, into your pot with the water. Bring to a boil, then let it simmer down to half its size, whispering your intentions and maybe a joke or two. The herbs like a good laugh.
Jar of Wonders: Once your potion has concentrated its powers, and your kitchen smells like a mystical herb garden, pour it into a quart mason jar. Don’t forget to add that extra lavender for good measure!
The Spirit of Vodka: Top it off with the vodka. Not only does it keep things fresh, but it’s also said that spirits (the liquid kind) help carry your intentions.
A Month of Moon Baths: Seal your jar, and let it sit in a spot where it can bask in the moonlight every night, soaking up those celestial vibes until the next full moon graces us. Stain the liquid goodness and put in your favorite spray bottle.
And voilà! Pat yourself on the back, dear cosmic chef. You’ve just crafted your own Florida Water, charged with the full moon's magic, and ready to cleanse, protect, and uplift. Whether you spritz it around your home, anoint your sacred tools, or just enjoy the herbal symphony of scents, know that you’ve put a little piece of your spirit into this brew.
So, here’s a toast (with our potion jars held high) to the magic within and all around us. May this Florida Water be a reminder of our collective journey, the power of community, and the beauty of crafting a little everyday magic together. Cheers, and happy full moon, my friends! 🌕✨
