CareBear Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 settling in the bottom of the bomb or in the bottom of your tub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 That recipe sounds delightful! I love the scent and flavor of chai tea.I took it to mean that the spices settled in the tub. Sadly, there is no cure for that! Thanks for posting the recipe. This is one I will try for myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I would be careful with the cinnamon stuff..I belive that is kinda harsh to the skin from what I have read..and most cinnamon FO's that I have seen are not B&B safe..but I LOVE the idea of adding milk to the ingredients..I might have to try this one..and just change out some of the spices.

KMommy Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Oh I bet that does smell wonderful. That is my favorite type of tea with just a splash of milk! I agree with pamperme about the cinnamon. I've read that also. Thanks for posting the recipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiecraft Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi, no i meant settling in the bottom of the bath bomb.I didnt find that they dried my skin out, but it did make me want to have a cinnamon bun when i got out the bath...

ladysj Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Maybe you could do them in layers like a layer of spices them bomb and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiecraft Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Yeah layers sounds like an idea..I made a batch of these and put them into old recycled tea cups i had.. they look fantastic.. and they just pop out, it took a little longer to dry though of course.. but they make a great gift i think.I have some chinese tea cups (which were much cheaper) and going to make the green tea bath bombs in them...atleast this way I dont have to worry about settling.
