Florida Water Recipe

There are many Florida water recipes but this is how I usually make it.

Florida Water Recipe

Florida water is a traditional American cologne water recipe adopted by southern practitioners of the hoodoo and voodoo tradition to cleanse the home and use in rituals. Originally named as the American version of Eau de Cologne in the 1800’s.

More ways to use Florida water:

Florida water can be used for cleansing (its effect is very similar to smudging),

Use it to clean your altar space.

As a spell component.

Just opening a bottle and leaving it in a room is said to purify the air of bad spirits and energies.

You can put it in a spray bottle as a spiritual “disinfectant,” anoint doors and windows with it.

Pour it into a bowl and place it on the altar as an offering, as a thank you gift to the Spirit(s)s/God(s) you are working with.

Use it in your bath by adding a few drops in the water to cleanse your aura and rejuvenate the senses.

Cleanse your magical items and crystals with a cloth and Florida Water.

Put some Florida Water in your palms and clap them together and rub to raise vibrations and to give you a quick energy boost.

Use it to dress candles for magical spells that include protection, communication with spirits, cleanings, breaking hexes and curses, removing malicious magic.

Florida water can quickly re-balance your vibration and is the perfect “chill out” after a long, stressful day. Grab that spray bottle and spray away! (Just be sure not to get it in your eyes.)

I love Florida water but I’ve never made it because I don’t buy alcohol (like vodka). One day, I’ll purchase some but I prefer other ways to cleanse. Thank you for the recipe though! :blush:

I have made it before but I really love using the essential oil version in my diffusers. I do think that since it’s the beginning of the fall season, I will make it in a simmer pot version, that smells so very good.

I don’t normally buy alcohol, not really what you would call a drinker, so when I buy the pint of whatever is labeled vodka but not a ton of money, the girls know that I am up to something. One of the cashiers knows what I am doing, but it’s fun to keep the others guessing. Since I only make it about once a year around this time, the must think it’s a Halloween thing that I’m doing. Lol :rofl:
