Categories: Astringent *
Yield: 16 Ounces
2 | c | Boiling water |
2 | Vitamin C tablet | |
Yellow peel (zest) from 2 lemons (use a sharp knife or zeste |
This is a light skin freshener to use throughout the day when your skin and hair could use a pick-me-up.
Dissolve the vitamin C tablet in the boiling water. Place the lemon peel in a ceramic or glass bowl and pour the water-vitamin C mixture over it. Let sit for several hours or even overnight. Remove the peel with a slotted spoon, or pour the water through a funnel lined with a coffee filter to remove any solids from the liquid. Pour this water into a clean spitzer bottle.
Note: This recipe works equally well with any citrus peel.
