Mix Your Tea

• 1). Spoon a few teaspoons of each herb into a bowl and mix. Since you'll be running this under water, use whole hibiscus flowers instead of powder.
  
  
• 2). Gently stuff the muslin bag and draw the string shut tightly.
  
  
• 3). If using paper tea bags, stuff and then carefully iron them shut with a dry iron.
  
  
• 4). When drawing bath water, run the tea bag under the faucet to begin releasing the herbs' gentle properties.
  
  
• 5). Get double duty from your tub tea by using the tea bag as an herbal washcloth. This will help to release the natural relaxant in lavender and the anxiety-reducing properties of chamomile.
