PETAL LOVE POTION


Submitted by Gina Guilfoyle

This is a love potion I make up for my fiancée and myself.  We usually sip this in a bath together, or cuddled up on the couch watching our favourite movie.

1          bottle of sparkling wine (or non alcoholic)
12         fresh strawberries
1  t       strawberry leaves (fresh or dry)
1  t       sugar
1  t       borage leaves and flowers
            a squeeze of lemon juice

Combine the leaves/flowers, strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add one small glass of sparkling wine.  Let mixture infuse for 2 hours.  Then skim leaves from your potion (leaving the strawberries).  Add the concentrated liquid into the remaining sparkling wine.  Pour into a glass.  Add an ice cube if you wish.

Drinking this will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling all over!
Oh, fyi:  you can also use starflower oil in place of flowers and leaves.
