Pioneer Woman at Heart

I drained the last jar of lemon extract I had in the making.  this will last about a year or longer in our house.  It's not used as much as vanilla extract, which we go through a lot faster.

The mosquitoes are terribly thick this year, and we are seeing swarms of them in areas we never saw before. So...... I decided to dig a bit deeper and found a recipe on Mountain Rose Herb's blog.  Less messy, and easier to tote along for possible camping trips. They posted one using catnip, other essential oils, and witch hazel extract. I had all of the ingredients but a few, and even found catnip to make the tincture for it.
