Color of the day: Lavender Incense of the day: Lily At this time of year, spring is in full force and the sun is in Taurus, which is an earth sign that rules over material pleasures, stability, and sensuality. To further your enjoyment of the season and add some magic to your meals, try making infused sugar! You can infuse practically any kind of sugar with your favorite herbs, spices, and floral elements (even coffee!), and then add them to your baking, your favorite beverages, or your magical workings. To infuse sugar, mix four parts sugar to one part flavoring, the drier the better to avoid clumping. Stronger-smelling herbs may require a bit less. Store your mixture in a clean, airtight jar. Try rose petals for love, cinnamon for success, orange for creativity, or coffee beans for energy. The possibilities are infinite. Allow the flavors to infuse for two to three weeks before using the sugar. |
