Making Green Tea and Yerba Mate Bath Soak at Home
Making this green tea and yerba mate bath soak from scratch couldn’t be easier. First of all you will need to boil the burdock root to release its healing qualities. Next, add the softer herbs, the tea, yerba mate, calendula and chamomile. Allow to infuse before straining out the leaves. Pour into your bath or store in the fridge for your next bath time.
INGREDIENTS
1 Tablespoon Burdock Root
2 Tablespoons Green Tea
2 Tablespoons Green Yerba Mate
1 Tablespoon Calendula
1 Tablespoon Chamomile
METHOD
Place the burdock root in a saucepan and cover with 2 pints of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Once the burdock root has been simmering for ten minutes, remove from the heat and add the green tea, yerba mate, calendula and chamomile. Let infuse for a further ten minutes. It is important to keep the mixture covered when boiling, simmering and infusing.
Either strain through a sieve or allow to cool enough to strain through a muslin cloth.
Carefully pour the solution into your warm bath.
Alternatively, the mixture can be prepared and stored for up to 3 days in the fridge to be used another time.
