Thanked: 1185The Vetiver Witch Hazel Experiment
Sounds like the title of a hippy poem
. Anyway, my wife has a huge crop of lemon grass out in the yard. She cooks with it occassionally and as I enjoyed my morning pipe and coffee this morning, it occured to me that this is what they make vetiver out of. So I cut some of the grass and a few large sections of the root (looks like leeks or large green onions), and put them in a mason jar. I then dumped Dickinson's Witch Hazel over the top. I'll let it sit for a few weeks, strain it and see what happens. If the smell of the grass and roots is any indication, it will be a lovely, fragrant vetiver treat.
The older I get, the better I was
