1 cup whole dried oats
\n1\/2 cup dried lavender buds
\n1\/2 cup dried chamomile
\n1\/2 cup dried rose petals
\n1\/2 cup Epsom salt
\n1\/2 cup coarse Himalayan salt
\n10 drops Lavender essential oil<\/a>
\n10 drops German Chamomile essential oil<\/a>
\n5 drops Rose essential oil<\/a>
\nMuslin cotton drawstring pouches, approximately 5 inches long by 4 inches wide<\/p>\n<\/div>

How to make bath tea:<\/span><\/h2>\n

1\u00b7<\/strong> In a food processor or blender, grind oats for up to 30 seconds to make a fine powder.
\n2\u00b7<\/strong> Combine oats, dried flowers, salt, and essential oils in a bowl. Mix well to thoroughly combine.<\/p>\n

YL tip<\/strong>:<\/span> Can’t bring yourself to use 5 precious drops of Rose in this DIY? Try Geranium<\/a>, Joy\u2122<\/a>, or any other floral favorite and soak in luxury!<\/p>\n

3\u00b7<\/strong> Scoop mixture into pouches, filling a little more than halfway. This recipe yields 3-5 pouches.
\n4\u00b7<\/strong> Store in a cool, dry place. These tea bags will hold their freshness for up to three months.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How to use bath tea:<\/span><\/h2>\n

1\u00b7<\/strong> Hang the pouch over the spout while your tub fills with hot water.
\n2\u00b7<\/strong> When the tub is full, take the pouch off and let it float in the tub, continuing to steep in the bath water.
\n3\u00b7<\/strong> Climb in and soak your worries away!<\/p>\n

YL green tip:<\/strong><\/span> When you’re done, empty and rinse the sachet to reuse later!<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is in a DIY bath tea?<\/span><\/h2>\n

As promised, infusing your bath with these ingredients will deliver silky, smooth skin and a much needed relaxing aroma. How?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Oatmeal<\/span><\/strong> is a prime ingredient for self-care purposes. Great for dry skin, oatmeal is the skin conditioner you’ve been looking for and even easier to find at local grocery stores.<\/p>\n

\u2022Dried flowers<\/span><\/strong> add a touch of fragrance and flair! They’ll add glamour to your bath and appealing gentle scents, even to the likes of Cleopatra.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Salt<\/span><\/strong> is just the ingredient for ultimate relaxation. When added to your bath tea, it’s just the kind of “sit back and relax” we’re eager for!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Essential oils <\/span><\/strong><\/a>– well, they’re a given! Soothing, luxurious, with tranquil scents-everything you want in a bath, thanks to the Lavender, Rose and German Chamomile trio! Bonus: The scent can transport your senses to a field flush with flowers.<\/p>\n<\/div>
