• Pour the strained infusion into a clean container.
• Add 100 ml lemon juice and ground cinnamon.
• Mix well until the cinnamon is fully dissolved.

4. Optional: enhance the aroma

• For a stronger scent, replace or combine the herbs with peppermint or lavender essential oils.

5. Transfer to the spray bottle

• Use a funnel to pour the mixture into your spray bottle.
• Shake well before each use.

How to Use

Spray on:

• Doors and windows
• Bedding
• Curtains and carpets
• The air in closed rooms
• Inside your car or around seating and sleeping areas

Extra Tips

• Storage: Use within two weeks. Store in a cool, dark place.
• Fabric test: Spray a small, hidden area first to check for staining (especially due to cinnamon).
• Customize the scent: Try adding rosemary, eucalyptus, or orange for variety and enhanced repellent power.

If mosquitoes have been ruining your summer nights, give this recipe a try—you may never go back to store-bought repellents again.
