Aftershave – The French Alternative

Jackie’s homemade aftershave is a great present for a bloke, and it smells good too!

You’ll need

  • 20 cloves
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • dried rind of 4 limes
  • 4 tbspns vodka
  • mineral or distilled water

Method

  1. Put all the ingredients into a jar, then put the lid on the jar and shake.
  2. For about the next three weeks, every time you pass by shake the jar again.
  3. Decant into another jar, then top up with either mineral water or distilled water.
  4. Dab on liberally after shaving.

(Note: Store the aftershave in a cool place and throw it out if it starts to look or smell odd. Use only as an aftershave and of course if your skin is sensitive to any of the ingredients discontinue using it at once.)
