Lavender Bath Bags
Filed Under Recipes, Using Herbs | Leave a Comment
There’s nothing better than a soothing oatmeal lavender bath after a stressful day. Here’s my favorite recipe for relieving that stress, and getting you relaxed for the night.
Recipe for Lavender Bath Bags
Ingredients:
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup dried lavender
6 muslin bags
twine or ribbon
How To Make It
Mix the oatmeal and lavender in a bowl. Pour the mixture into the bags and tie with twine, making a bow or loop. After you have filled the tub, swish the sachet through the hot water a few times. Hang the sachet on the tap to dry, it can be used several times. This recipe makes 6 small bath bags.
Enjoy, and let me know how you liked it. Have a great weekend!
