Madame Mora’s Herbal, Lesson 10

“Love Potion No. 10”

This recipe is strictly for fun.  You will be using the “tea” you create to make a simple syrup, designed to put you, or, anyone who happens to swallow a teaspoon or 2, “in the mood.”

You will need 2 tablespoons for each of the following herbs: rose (preferably the petals), honeysuckle flowers, spearmint leaves, jasmine flowers, and lavender.

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and remove it from the water.  Add herbs and steep for approximately 10 minutes, to allow the aphrodisiac qualities to be completely released in the water.  Strain the tea back into the pot and add 2 cups of sugar.  Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring to dissolve the sugar.  Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and allow the syrup to cool. Store in the refrigerator to keep the syrup for about 2 weeks.

Administer 1-2 teaspoons of the syrup, when you feel the need for a boost, for yourself, or that someone special.
