Carol's Favourite Tub Tea

Make this is truly memorable Tub TEA ~ It's one of my favourites!

Ingredients

2 tablespoon rose petals
2 tablespoon chamomile flowers
2 tablespoon calendula flowers
2 tablespoon lavender flowers

Instructions

Put all the herbs into a bowl and mix well
Use a cotton muslin tea bag or just about any kind of tightly woven cloth.
Often these muslin bags come with a 'tie' to close the bag and secure the herbs.
Use a ribbon, string or elastic band if using a cheesecloth or other fabric to make a sachet.
To use the bath tea bag, affix the sachet of herbs under the tub spout so the water will pour through the bag as your bath fills up.
Alternatively, toss the sachet of herbs into the tub.
Squeeze the bath bag several times while bathing to release the fragrance and healing elements
Breathe in the scent and watch the water change color.
Remove the bath tea bag when you are finished with your bath

Recipe Notes

Herbal bath tea bags can be used 3 times within about 4 days.
You can use the same sachet for 3 days in a row but then to avoid 'spoilage', it's best to rinse the pouch out.
You can re-use these wee sachet bags. Just wash the material with non-toxic soap and it's ready to go again.

Additional options include adding powdered milk or 2-3 tablespoons of olive* or sesame oil plus 3-5 drops of your favourite essential oil. I like lavender or ethically wild-crafted sandalwood, rosewood, and sometimes rose geranium.
*olive and sesame are my favourites but good quality nut oils or vegetable oil.
