GREEN GODDESS

TAKE ALOE OFF YOUR MIND WITH THIS AFTER-SUN SPRAY!

We all try our best to keep from burning in the sun, but sometimes we forget to reapply sunscreen or cover up. Here’s a lovely spray to use when sunburn hits. The green tea is very soothing, the peppermint cooling and aloe vera soothes, cools and aids healing.

4 cups water

1 peppermint tea bag

1 chamomile tea bag

1 green tea tea bag

½ cup aloe vera juice

10 drops peppermint essential oil

Heat the water in a large pot until boiling. Remove from the heat and add the tea bags. Stir, and replace the lid, then leave to infuse for 20 minutes. Strain and pour the tea into a glass jar. When it’s cool, add the aloe vera juice and essential oil. Put on the lid and shake well. This keeps for two weeks in the fridge. Pour into a spray bottle to apply or soak a flannel with it.
