A fresh scented car makes commuting or even zipping
to the grocery store more enjoyable. However, often air fresheners contain
chemicals or other additives that may not be as enjoyable for one’s lungs! We
heard this great solution the other day and wanted to pass it along!
Next time you pick up your herb share from Kindred
Ground Farm, save some of the leaves (basil works great, but so do any of our
other herbs!) and place them in a brown paper bag with a few holes poked in. An
envelope will work too. Place the bag or envelope on your dashboard to let the
heat and sun dry the leaves. (Don’t drive with the envelope on the dashboard
though please!) Check the leaves every couple of days until they are dried.
(With this heat, they might be dry the next day!)
Gently shake the leaves onto a piece of cotton fabric
or into a sachet bag. If you are using a piece of fabric, gather it up so it
makes a “bag” and tie with ribbon. Place the sachet in your cup holder and
voila a natural and lovely air freshener!
Enjoy!
