French Ironing Water

4 cups (950 ml) distilled or purified water
1/8 teaspoon (1 ml) lavender essential oil

The French are renowned for their love of lavender-in the South of France, vast fields of lavender give Provence some of its most beautiful vistas. Lavender lovers look for every opportunity to slip the seductive, fresh scent into their daily routines. Consider this easy method of adding a whiff of lavender into your next load of ironing. Use purified or distilled water for best results. Combine water and essential oil in a large spray bottle and shake vigorously before using. Spritz dry, clean clothes, and then iron as usual.
