Grape Lotion for Sunburn

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Dip the grapes in a basin of water.

  2. Sprinkle the grapes with alum and coarse sea salt, mixing them together.

  3. Wrap the grapes in paper and bake them under hot ashes (400°F / 200°C).

  4. After baking, press the grapes to extract the juice.

  5. Wash your face with the juice to remove sunburn, tan, and freckles.
