How to Blend Bath Tea

Blending bath tea is super easy. All you need to do is combine your ingredients in a bowl, mix them together, and package them in a bag or jar. You can mix bath tea with a spoon, but to avoid breaking the delicate botanicals, you may wish to stir with your hands instead. 

For all of these recipes, you need a few simple items. Before getting started, gather the following: 

• Mixing bowl
• Measuring scoop* 
• Bags or jars for packaging
• Labels 
• Optional: Nitrile gloves

* Note: These recipes are simplified by listing the ingredients in “scoops” rather than by weight. You can use the same measuring device for each ingredient, simply adding the required number of scoops listed in the recipe. You can use any type of scoop to measure with. We recommend our ½ oz Measuring Scoop, which is perfect for making small batches of bath tea. 

If you want to make a large batch, you may find it’s easier to measure each ingredient by weight. Keep in mind each ingredient weighs a different amount. You will need to translate the measurement into grams or ounces to get accurate results (e.g. Hibiscus is much heavier than Calendula, and 1 “scoop” will weigh a lot more).
