What you'll need:
1 cup vodka
1 orange peel (or lemon peel)
1 lemon peel
8 to 10 drops of your essential oils of choice. (Traditional oils for Florida water include lavender, lemon, bergamot, and ylang-ylang)
A handful or two of fresh herbs of your choosing (i.e., mint or basil)
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
Method:
Combine all your ingredients into a glass container and seal it.
Let the mixture sit for a full lunar cycle (29 days).
