Brrrr. It’s still winter and in many cases still c-c-cold out there. Even if you live in a warmer climate, there is nothing like a warm bath to soothe away all that ails you. I love to add a little Lavender Bath Salt or a Fizzy Bath Bomb into the mix, to soften skin and ease muscle pain, but I don’t always love the clean up that comes after. Herbs are wonderful in the bath but they can leave bits and bobs to chase after the water has drained.
The solution? Tub tea! Pack herbs, salts, and other bath time joys into a fillable tea bag and you’ve got yourself a mess-free bath.
Here is a list of some of the possible options to fill your tea bags with:
- dried lavender
- rose petals
- pink Himalayan bath salts
- Epsom salts
- green Himalayan bath salts
- ground oatmeal
- dried monarda (bee balm)
- dried mint leaves
- fennel seeds
- comfrey root powder
- powdered milk or goat’s milk
Seal the tea bags by folding the top down 4-5 times and secure with a single staple. Pack tea bags into a mason jar or pretty vase and give with these instructions:
It’s time for Tub Tea! Add one tea bag to a warm bath. Soak in tea bath for 20 minutes to soothe sore muscles and detoxify.
Fabulous ideas. I love tub tea, but would never have thought of a couple of those ingredients. Fennel seeds sound marvelous!
Sorry for the horrible grammar, I’ve just got many things to say about this great post! This is such a fabulous idea!! And I love the comfy rustic style you’ve got goin’ on there. This post is so cute, and very well written. Love the photos!
Cheers, Dusty.
Love this idea!! So excited to try it!
What did you use to make the bag …interfacing..? or did you buy the bags already made…?
Camille, I’ve written about and provided a link to the fillable tea tags I’ve used. They are also called filters. Look just up above in the post.
