How to Make Tub Tea

Use dried flowers and Epsom salt to whip up a quick batch of tub tea to enjoy yourself, or give as a gift. You can even use dried flowers from your garden.

I have two tub tea blends to share with you. They both smell amazing and will do wonderful things for your skin.

Tub Tea Bags

Many people sprinkle tub tea directly in their bath water, but I opted to place mine in tea bags, so there wouldn’t been any mess to clean up afterwards. Just toss the tea bag in your compost after your bath, and you’re done. Easy!

I use these #3 size T-Sac Tea Bags to make my tub tea bags. They’re the same bags that I use to make my mulling spice mix.

Measure Two Tablespoons of Tub Tea

Whipping up the bags couldn’t be easier. You just measure out two tablespoons of your tub tea.

Fill Tea Bags

Place it in an empty tea bag …

and seal the top of the bag. I used my sewing machine to sew the bags shut a bit above the tea, and cut off the extra portion of the bag. Backstitching rips the bags, so just do a single row of stitches.

Not a fan of sewing? Then, fold the top of the bags over a few times, and staple them shut instead.

Both of my recipes make 24 tea bags. Ready to give them a try? Here are the recipes.
