Cool-Me-Down Foot Soak

Author: Kami McBride

Ingredients

  • 4 quarts water
  • 1/4 cup fresh rose petals or 1/4 cup dried
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon balm or 2 tbsp dried
  • 1 tbsp fresh peppermint leaves or 1 tbsp dried

Instructions

  • Put the water and herbs into a large pot.
  • Bring water and herbs to a boil, turn off the heat, and let herbs infuse for one hour. Let it cool down before using.
  • Leave herbs in the water for the foot bath or strain them out. I like to leave the herbs in, as they continue to infuse the water, and I enjoy their color and texture.
  • Pour the strained or unstrained tea into a foot basin.
  • Soak your feet for ten minutes or for as long as you like. It isn't much of a mess to clean up; when you are finished, just pour the water and herbs into a garden bed outside.
