Do your feet ache at the end of a long day? If your feet are bound in shoes or boots all day and you'd like to "freshen them up a bit" when you remove your footwear, here is a great recipe. It will leave your feet feeling fresh and tingly.
In a jar place:
1 small handful of fresh mint leaves (about 1/4 cup of any kind of mint you like)
1 cup Distilled Water
1 cup Vodka
1/2 tsp. Tea Tree Oil
Gently rinse the mint leaves under running water then roughly rip the leaves into big chunks and put in the bottom of a sterilized jar.
Bring the distilled water to a boil. Pour the hot water over the leaves in the jar. Seal the jar and set in a sunny spot for 24 hours (shake vigorously once in the morning and once at night).
After 24 hours strain the water and throw out the leaves, keeping just the infused water.
Add vodka and the 1/2 tsp of Tea Tree oil to the water. Shake well then pour into spray bottle. Spray feet as needed, shaking bottle before each use.
You could also substitute the fresh mint leaves with 1/2 tsp. of your favorite mint essential oil, just add it to the vodka, water and tea tree oil and shake spray bottle before each use.
Also try tossing in some fresh lemon peel with the mint when covering with boiling water.
