Sorry, hit the enter key by mistake - everyone should use discretion with a new ingredient and test

In reply to: I should have been clearer, although I have had no problem with cloves everyone should use posted by Maria on December 23, 2004 at 19:00:04:
since everyone reacts differently. I actually did use a littlecinnamon (I use cinnamon lip balm, eat cinnamon mints etc. and know
I'm not sensitive to it) and my usual cloves in my mix yesterday, but
forgot to add lavender. It smelled ok, but not as good as it usually
does. I used coffee/pectin for the additional liquid, and hot towels
for about 5 hours, longer than I've ever done before and it's a deeper
red than usual. Of course I have to wait for oxidation but I think it
looks pretty good. *g* I'm still toying with adding indigo to tone it
down just a bit, but I'm not sure as I don't want much in the way of
ash tones.
