Coming soonThis one isn't written up yet — it's on the way
Peppermint is one of the few essential oils strong enough to still be obvious months later, so this recipe uses less of it than you'd expect.
The rose layer is madder root, which needs steeping rather than sprinkling. The recipe covers how long, and what happens if you rush it.
