If using the fresh herb, cut the leaves and stems early in the day and rise in tepid water to remove any soil or insects. Allow the herb to dry on a kitchen towel until you are ready to use it. Stuff the plant material into a glass jar or teapot, but don’t pack it too tightly. Pour boiling water into the pot and leave it to steep for at least an hour, allowing it to cool in the process. It can be used to lightly mist the pillow and top edge of the quilt. There isn’t a strong scent when brewed this way, so you may choose to add a drop of lavender oil to your tisane.
