Between Close Friends

A sharp Lemon Sachet Mixture: This is a favorite of mine to include in my lingerie drawers. For other scented herbal sachets, betweenclosefriends.com blog contains a wide variety, including 3 herbal recipe alternatives to mothballs. ( Get rid of moths without mothballs, sweet-smelling herbal moth repellent bags, or All-natural sweet smelling moth repellent). Much more pleasing scents, and environmentally friendlier too!

1 cup dried crushed lemon verbena leaves

1 cup dried lavender flowers

1 cup dried crushed scented geranium leaves

¼ cup dried crushed peppermint leaves

¼ cup dried crushed lemon peel strips

muslin or cheesecloth bags

colorful ribbon

1. Combine the crushed leaves, lemon peel strips and lavender flowers together in a bowl.
2. Evenly divide the mixture between several small sachet bags, filling ¾ full to allow the tops to be secured with a rubber band.
3. Tie the tops of the bags with a length of ribbon.
4. Place the sachets to pleasantly scent linens, clothes, and furs, in your closets and drawers.
