After a pleasant and relaxing bath session, it’s important not only to pamper your body but also to care for your inner state. A bath is not just about cleansing the body, but also an opportunity to restore balance, relax, and recharge your energy. And what could be better than a cup of aromatic tea, perfect for completing the bath ritual?
Ingredients for the Perfect Bath Tea:
- Sage — 1 tsp
- Lemon balm — 1 tsp
- Plantain — 1 tsp (for soothing the skin and reducing irritation)
- Calendula — 1 tsp (for relaxation and harmony)
- Ginger — 1-2 cm of root, sliced thinly (for warming up and improving circulation)
- Bay leaf — 1-2 leaves (for cleansing and lightness)
- Honey — to taste (for sweetness and additional health benefits)
- Lemon — a few slices (for freshness and vitamins)
Preparation:
- Gather the herbs. It’s best to use fresh or high-quality dried herbs. Place all the herbs in a teapot or infuser.
- Add ginger and bay leaf. These ingredients help warm you up and improve blood circulation after the bath.
- Pour hot water. A key point is not to pour water that is too hot, so as not to destroy the beneficial properties of the herbs. Let the water cool down a bit to around 90°C (194°F).
- Let it steep. Allow the tea to steep for 5-10 minutes so that all the aromas are released, and the drink becomes rich and fragrant.
- Add honey and lemon. After the tea has steeped, add honey to taste and a few slices of lemon for freshness.
Benefits of This Tea:
- Sage and lemon balm help you relax and calm your nervous system.
- Plantain and calendula have beneficial effects on the skin, reducing inflammation and soothing.
- Ginger stimulates metabolism, improves circulation, helps warm up, and speeds up recovery after the bath.
- Bay leaves cleanse the body and give the tea a unique flavor.
This tea will not only warm and comfort you but also fill you with the aromas of the forest and nature, creating harmony both inside and out.
Enjoy your relaxation and the peaceful atmosphere of the bath!
