自製香草檸檬蚊怕水
坊間售賣的蚊怕水含眾多化學物,多用對身體沒有好處。近兩年來我只用自己調的天然香草檸檬蚊怕水,材料間單,造法容易,效果也很好!
材料:
*一個檸檬的檸檬皮,不要肉,切幼絲
*兩支Rosemary迷迭香(如花園沒有,西人超市菜部有賣)
*兩支Lavender薰衣草(如花園沒有,可用香薰油四滴代替)
造法:
1. 所有材料洗淨後,放有蓋的容器裡,加一大杯(若300毫升)沸水。蓋好後浸過夜(最少12小時,最多3日)。
2. 浸好後隔渣注入噴壺即可用。平時放陰涼處即可。
你會發覺嗅上去和買回來的蚊怕水很相似。其實未有DEET等化學劑之前,人們就是用這些材料驅蚊!這個天然的自製版本,持久力不比化學劑,所以每兩小時左右便要補噴,但因為家中有小狗,後園又有養魚,不想用太多化學東西。始終是毒藥嘛!兩個夏季來,我家兩口子和客人都是用它的呢!
