Bay West Indies Aftershave
Ingredients:2 cups of witch hazel
30ml rum
zest from one organic orange
1 cinnamon stick
3-5 cloves
3-5 whole allspice
1/2 teaspoon glycerine
1/2 teaspoon aloe vera
25 drops Bay West Indies Essential Oil
Method:
Step 1. Add the orange zest, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice, glycerine and aloe vera to a 600ml jar.
Step 2. Add the rum.
Step 3. Add the witch hazel. Shake to combine.
Step 4. Add the 25 drops of Bay West Indies essential oil. Cover with a tight fitting lid and shake well to thoroughly combine all the ingredients. Place in the fridge and shake daily for 4 weeks.
Step 5. Once the aftershave has steeped for four weeks strain it through a coffee filter (you may need to repeat this a couple of times to get a clear aftershave). Store in dark, glass bottles (again, re-use empty aftershave bottles). This recipe makes enough to fill two 250ml bottles.
Note: You can buy Bay West Indies essential oil online or at most health food shops. It is a very strong scent so add the suggested 25 drops and then test the fragrance. If it's not strong enough add another 5 drops and test again.
