Herbal Bath Tea Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup Lavender flowers

1/4 cup Green Tea leaves (try a rose or jasmine flavored tea)

3 drops Rose essential oil (substitute Palmarosa if cost is an issue)

3 drops Lavender essential oil

1 drop Rose Geranium essential oil

Directions

Drop in the lavender, geramnium and rose essential oils, placing each drop in its own little spot on top of the mixture. Use a stainless steel spoon to gently stir everything together.

Cap the jar and let it sit for at least 24 hours before using to let the aroma 'cure' (longer is better.)

To use your rose scented bath mixture, scoop a few spoonfuls into a small organza or muslin drawstring bag. Fill about half full - it will expand in the water.

If you don't have a bag, put a few spoonfuls into the center of a square of double thickness cheesecloth, pull the edges together and tie it closed with a string.

To get the most benefit from your aromatherapy bath recipe, boil a kettle of water, then steep the bag in a bowl of very hot water for 10 minutes or so. (Yes, you're making herbal tea for your bath!)

Pour the herbal bath tea into your bathwater BEFORE YOU GET IN then check the temperature to make sure the bath water is not too hot. Drop the herbal bag in the water, slide in and relax for 20 minutes.

For a truly luxurious bath, add a tablespoon of aromatherapy carrier oilto extra-moisturize your skin.

Dry off without rinsing, and lock in moisture with a good body lotion, such as this Lavender Lotion recipe.
