Spring Witchy Recipes

mrs-k-cottage-witch:

Here are some recipes I have made or have been trying out for spring!

Three Flower Sugar –

• 1 oz lavender
• 1 dried rose, just the petals
• 1 oz dried chamomile or honeysuckle

Grind in a mortal and pestle, add ½ cup of sugar and grind until powder fine. Store in pink jar for love spells, self care spells, and to amplify the properties of the flowers.

Uses: Sprinkle on sugar cookies for Beltane rituals, stir into an herbal tea, sprinkle over offerings for the fae, use in a self care spell jar, use in spells to sweeten relationships or communication, etc.

Floral Tincture –

Great for making drinks, baking, or use in potions for Spring celebrations.

• equal parts dried lavender, honeysuckle, chamomile, elder flowers, roses etc (I used chamomile, elder flowers, and honeysuckle.)
• 1 jar (dark jar if possible)
•  just enough vodka or other 180 proof alcohol to just cover the flowers, maybe ½ in over the dried materials

1. Place flowers into jar, cover with alcohol and shake vigorously.
2. Store in a dark cool place.
3. Shake periodically
4. let steep for 4 weeks or more
5. Strain through a fine mesh strainer/coffee filter or muslin cloth, squeeze excess out of the flowers.
6. Strain through coffee filter or muslin cloth once more and bottle in a glass bottle/jar. 

 Uses: Use in cooking recipes like you would vanilla extract or other baking flavorings, use an eye dropper to drop into sparkling water/tea for a refreshing drink, use like bitters in a martini recipe, use for potions or spells, etc.

Lavender Meyer Lemon Mint Tea –

From the book “infuse” 

• 8 sprigs of fresh mint
• 4 sprigs dried lavender
• 4 Meyer lemon peels
• 30 oz of water

Combine all ingredients in a pitcher in the refrigerator over night (for at least 10 hours). A relaxing and refreshing drink for  all spring celebrations. 🙂 Also can be used for cleansing and purifying properties to boost your Spring Cleaning, from the inside out.
