macyboutique Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Can anyone give me the directions on how to make bath teas the ones with oatmeal/lavendar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnhorsemom Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 When I make mine I use the sealable tea bags. I put my oatmeal, lavender, chamomile, sea salts etc whatever I am going to use in the bag and seal it up. Pretty simple to do it this way, I also like using the tea bags so you don't get a big mess in your tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I mix all the ingredients I want into a bowl then spoon fill the tea bags - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignitethesenses Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I made some for personal use, once ground in a food processor and once whole. The ground really brewed in the tub better. I tried the heat sealable bags but I was having a hard time (I was using a curling iron lol) so I just put the tea in a wash cloth and tied it. The tea bags would work much better if properly sealed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The bath teas are great. I make and sell them. Depending on the type of bath tea depends on the type of ingredients I put in mine. But for the most part I put salts, dried milk, oatmeal and herbs in mine. They are quick and easy to make.edit to add: They sell well too!

Laura Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 do any of you add fo or eo to your teas...currently i do not, but had a couple customers ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I add lavender EO to my oatmeal/lavender tea to bump up the scent a bit. Not very much - you don't want to get everything too wet. I just drizzle it in and stir it up until it smells how I want it. And if you're sealing tea bags, make sure they're good and sealed. I was squeezing out the last yummy oatmeal goo in the tub and the bag burst at the seam, what a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macyboutique Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thanks you all for the great info...will do some of these....where do you purchase your sealable bath tea bags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I use both FOs and EOs in my teas. I mix them in with some dendric salt first so that it can absorb the scent. I agree with Robin to make sure to get a good seal. I too had one break and that stuff can find all kinds of nook and crannies to get into. At my age, and with my body, it's not easy to get that stuff out. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
