Uses for scented geraniums?

19 years ago

Hi,

I would love to use the leaves somehow. One of the things I would like to do is use them somehow as little gifts for my sister who has MS and who can't garden anymore.

Thanks

You can use them for baking. Either layer them in sugar to flavor it. Or you can put a few leaves in the bottom of a bread pan when you bake a quick bread to infuse it with flavor.
