Apple cider vineger toner

I started this project by making my own organic apple cider vinegar I will be writing a future blog post about the process of making your own ACV.

This is a great alternative to expensive store bought toners and a lot healthier for you with only 3 ingredients and only one ingredient that I had to get from the store.

1 cup ACV
2 cups purified or distilled water
1 tablespoon witch hazel

  1. Filter 2 cups of water add to your container
  2. Filter your ACV through a coffee filter or paper towel to remove the excess mother so it won't clog up your bottle and add to container with a table spoon of witch hazel.
  3. Shake well use a cotton ball or cotton pad and gently rub on face and neck.
  4. Gently pat face dry or let air dry 
That is it I know to some people the smell of vinegar is not appeasing but the smell only lasts a few seconds after it dries. Since I started using this I have stopped breaking out in acne and my nose no longer gets extra oily from wearing my glasses all day!

Hemp milk cream cheese

Hemp milk cheese is an amazing experience the first time I made it it took for ever but I have fixed up the recipe to make it a bit faster.

Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 quarts of unsweetened hemp milk
1 1/2 tablespoon grounded pink Himalayan salt

Equipment:
Pot 
Measuring cups
Big spoon 
Bowl 

Instructions:
  1. Measure a cup of purified water and warm in the microwave dissolve the salt into the water and add the lemon juice. 
  2. Pour 2 quarts of hemp milk into a medium pot pour the lemon salt mixture on top of the hemp milk stir once and heat on medium (make sure you have a good boil going or this part will take longer.)
  3. After 10-15 mins stir along the top once more there should be some solid chunks forming. Let cook until the solids are fully separated from the clearer liquid.
  4. Line a bowl or cup with cheese cloth and carefully lift the solids out using a large spoon allow for any extra liquid to drain out do not try to squeeze it out you will loose cheese! 
  5. Store in airtight container and enjoy I sure did =]
