Day 3 Detox Bath: ONO Sleepy Time Milk Bath
What is better than soaking in smooth tub of milk? Adding the antioxidant powers of tea of course! In this recipe I used ONO Sleepy Time which contains chamomile to help you unwind, and rooibos to help soothe your skin. Light a few candles, put on your favorite tunes, and get ready to detox, unwind, and escape.
INGREDIENTS:
2 tea filters
string
1 cup of ONO Sleepy Time Tea
2 cups of dry milk powder
1 cup of cornstarch
4-6 drops of lavender oil
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine tea, milk powder, and cornstarch in a bowl.
2. Divide in half
3. Put half in a tea filter and tie with a string. Don’t tie it too tight- leave room for the leaves to expand when it hits the warm bath water. Repeat with the other tea filter.
4. Place the bags in a warm bath tub and relax.

Hi Talya - Derived from dried corn kernels, it helps give skin a fresh, dry feeling , soothes irritated skin and leaves it feeling silky and smooth. It is the primary ingredient in commercial baby powders. Caution: Cornstarch can cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive or allergic to corn or corn products

Any tea that says “decaffeinated” is not truley decaff. It still has a small amount of cafeine. For a true cafeine-free tea, I highly recommend ONO Serenity Now, ONO Fountain of Youth, or ONO Sleepy Time. They are all rooibos based teas which are true caffeine free teas. Rooibos is a tea plant that comes from South Africa and is extremely high in antioxidants. Have a happy New Year!

Phuong. Happy New Year! What are your thoughts on referring to Rooibos and other tisanes as “teas”? Some would say that unless they are mixed with a blend that contains tea leaves (camellia sinensis), they are not actually “teas.”
Check out a video I just posted at http://www.thealmightytea.com, an online community that I set up for tea lovers. Would love to hear your thoughts on the video, the site, the community. Email me: james@thealmightytea.com.

Happy New Year James! In my opinion, tea is a beverage made by steeping leaves, herbs, flowers, fruit in water. There are many types of “tea.” Cameslia Sinensis is the most popular “tea” leaf which many of us refer to us black, oolong, green, and white tea. Rooibos is a “tea” that is made from Aspalathus linearis, a South African shrub. One of my favorite iced teas is ONO Berry Dazzle, which is a “tea” made from delicious fruit pieces and rooibos.
