our tea recipes for the bath

If you are used to drinking your tea from a cup while letting the tea bag steep, you will probably be surprised by the new beauty trend straight from TikTok!

Containment and social networks have allowed the emergence of many trends, especially in DIY, understand Do It Yourself. A way to refocus on yourself and take care of your body and mind. Although confinement is no longer relevant, it has still left some positive traces, such as taking time to take care of yourself. It is therefore in this context that this rather unusual trend has emerged.

On TikTok, many people praise the merits of bath tea. This trend consists of infusing in your bath water a classic tea bag sold in stores, a special tea bag for the bath (which you can find in some shops) or a tea bag made by yourself.

In addition to scenting and decorating your bath, this would have both virtues for your body and for your well-being (as we explain to you below)! And a little bonus: with just a few lit candles on the edge of your tub, you feel like you’re in a spa.

How to make a bath tea, or bath tea?

To make your own bath tea successful, you need to incorporate at least 4 different kinds of ingredients into your sachet. Obviously, you will need tea powder or tea leaf, be it green tea, white tea, black tea, red tea, or blue tea. To this, you will have to add a little essential oils which will perfume your water and which will also bring their benefits to your body, vegetable oil and some dried flowers or herbs to create a nice assortment. You can also add bath salt, which is very beneficial for your skin, or even powdered milk to create a real cocooning moment! It’s up to you to let your imagination run wild. And for a theine-free version, all you need to do is remove the tea powder to end up with a bath infusion.

Once your blend is ready, just put it in an organza or silk tea bag, which you can find very affordable in supermarkets or on online sites. Once you have closed your tea bag securely, attach it firmly to your tub faucet. So when you go to let the water run to fill your tub, it will start to take in the benefits of your bath tea. Finally, once the tub is full, drop your tea bag in the bath water while you relax. The lukewarm water of the bath will thus allow a better infusion of your mixture!
