Bath Sachet
Source of Recipe
PantryNGrocery Challenge
List of Ingredients
1 cup oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 cup rosemary leaves (or substitute lavender, thyme, lemon verbena...or
your favorite herb)
1/4 cup rose petals
Recipe
Mix the ingredients together and, for each sachet, place a few tablespoons
in the center of a six-inch square of lace, cheesecloth or muslin. Note: I
ve used the muslin tea bags that better kitchen stores carry, or make my own
using a *firmly woven* muslin/cheesecloth fabric--you don't want the
contents of the bag getting down the drain!! If you're using a square of
fabric..bring the Four Corners together and tie in the middle with a
washable ribbon, making sure that the mixture is secure in your bath. Tie
the bag to hang sachet mixture in a honey pot in the bathroom and refill
sachet as necessary. Each bag can be used several times before it needs
refilling. Oatmeal is very good for the skin but
by itself is not particularly attractive, which is why I add rose petals.
The Rose petals complement the oatmeal and add a little more fragrance to
the mix. For a humorous present for friends with a hot tub, sew a large tea
bag from cheesecloth or muslin, fill it with a mixture of herbs and oatmeal
(keeping
the same proportions as in the recipe) and staple the bag to a string. Write
the message "tea for two" on a piece of paper and attach it to the other end
of the string. The "tea" bag can be used several times.
