        Herb Infusion Recipe

        Ingredients

        • 60g (2 cups) fresh mint leaves
        • 60g (2 cups) fresh rosemary sprigs
        • 30g (1 cup) fresh basil leaves
        • 30g (1 cup) fresh thyme sprigs
        • 5-7 cloves garlic, crushed
        • 1L (4 cups) water
        • 30ml (2 tbsp) neem oil
        • 30ml (2 tbsp) liquid dish soap (biodegradable preferred)

        Instructions

        Step 1: Prepare the Herb Mixture

        In a large pot, combine the mint leaves, rosemary sprigs, basil leaves, and thyme sprigs. Be sure to gently crush them with your hands or a spoon to help release their essential oils. Add the crushed garlic cloves to the pot for their additional pesticidal properties.

        Step 2: Simmer the Mixture

        Pour 1 liter (4 cups) of water into the pot with the herbs. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the essential oils are evenly distributed in the water.

        Step 3: Infuse and Cool

        After simmering, remove the pot from the heat. Cover it with a lid and allow the herbs to steep in the water until it cools to room temperature. This step ensures maximum extraction of pest-repelling properties from the herbs. Let it sit for about an hour.

        Step 4: Strain and Mix

        Using a strainer or cheesecloth, carefully separate the liquid from the herb and garlic residue. Store the strained infusion in a clean jar. To this, add 30ml (2 tbsp) of neem oil and 30ml (2 tbsp) of liquid dish soap. The neem oil adds a potent anti-insect quality, while the soap serves as an emulsifying agent. Mix well.

        Step 5: Bottling and Application

        With the aid of a funnel, pour the herb infusion into a spray bottle. It’s now ready for application! Spray directly onto your plants, focusing on the undersides of leaves where pests commonly reside. For best results, apply during early morning or late afternoon to prevent any burning from direct sunlight.

        Conclusion

        By blending elements of nature’s own defense mechanisms, you’ve created a powerful and aromatic pest repellent that maintains a lush, healthy garden. This natural remedy exemplifies how culinary skills can extend beyond the kitchen and into eco-friendly gardening practices. Feel empowered to adjust the formula with other pest-repelling herbs as you learn what works best for your particular garden. Let your garden thrive while you relish in the sweet victory over pest intrusions.
