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

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.
