YIELDS: 8 ounces

3 vanilla beans
8 ounces witch hazel

What you will need: cutting board, knife, 8-ounce bottle with cap,
funnel

1. To Make: Slice the vanilla beans into thin strips and cut into smaller
   pieces. Place them into the bottle. Fill it up with witch hazel and shake
   well. Store it in a cool dark place for at least two weeks. Ideally you will
   remember to shake it up daily, but it’s okay if you skip a day or two. The
   longer you leave the vanilla beans to soak, the stronger your infusion will
   be. When you’ve reached your desired strength, strain out the vanilla and
   use a funnel to pour the brew back into the bottle.


2. To Store: Label with expiration date of 2 years and store in a cool dark
   place out of direct sunlight.


3. To Use: Shake well before each use. Use as a facial toner for normal to
   oily skin or as an aromatic body, hair, linen, or room spray.

SKINCARE SECRETS

If  you plan    to  use this    Aromatic    Vanilla Infusion    in  facial  care,

consider    mixing  1   part    aloe    vera    juice   with    3   parts   Aromatic    Vanilla

Infusion    for added   benefit.    Start   with    a   high    quality witch   hazel,  easily

found   at  a   health  food    store   or  online, that    has a   higher  percentage

of  witch   hazel   extract than    alcohol.
