Lavender Vinegar

April 23, 2006

I make this mostly for my laundry.  

I take several wands of lavender (blooming or not) and stick it directly into a bottle of white vinegar I have specifically for laundry.  
One could heat the vinegar first but I take the bottle and set it out on the porch in the sun and let it brew out there.

Adding a cup of this to the final rinse of your wash cycle will help rinse the load clean of detergent residue which causes your clothes and towels to become stiff when hung out on the line.  The lavender scent tends to be faint as I use maybe half a dozen wands of lavender in a 30oz, or so bottle.  It seems to be enough to keep bugs out of clothes when storing though.  So far so good.
