Why Go Natural?

Unlike store-bought sprays, this air freshener:

  • Adds a bright, clean scent with mint and lemon
  • Creates a warm, cozy vibe with cinnamon
  • Can be customized with your favorite essential oils or dried herbs

What You’ll Need:

  • 300 ml warm water
  • 1 tbsp dried peppermint or a few drops of peppermint essential oil
  • 1 tbsp dried flowers (lavender or chamomile) or a few drops of lavender essential oil
  • 100 ml natural lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
  • ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 spray bottle (dark glass preferred to preserve oils)
  • Fine sieve and funnel

How to Make It:

Step 1:
Heat the 300 ml of water until warm (not boiling).
Add dried mint and dried flowers.
Let steep for 10–15 minutes to release their natural aromas.

Step 2:
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove all solids.

Step 3:
In a clean bowl, mix the herbal liquid, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
Stir well until the cinnamon is fully dissolved.

Step 4:
(Optional) Add a few drops of peppermint or lavender essential oil for a stronger, longer-lasting scent.

Step 5:
Using a funnel, pour the mixture into your spray bottle.
Shake well before each use.

Pro Tips:

  • Shelf life: Use within 2 weeks. Store in a cool, dark place.
  • Customize it: Try orange & rosemary for energy, or vanilla & clove for warmth.
