sunburned tea.

its always fun to learn about homemade remedies for me at least; as a mother.  maybe it goes hand + hand with being a woman, nesting, nurturing and wanting to be strong enough for survival if there is a disaster.  summer is here which means bathing suit season which in turn means lots of freckles, lots of tan lines and maybe a sunburn or two

remedy: black tea bags on the burn.
recipe: hot water boil. place two bags in the pot.  soak for two - five minutes.  let cool.  let the herbs sink into the skin. that's really what those herbs are for anyway - the skin.

also, if you have bloating and dark circles under your eye...

remedy: peppermint tea bags under the eyes and puffiness.
same recipe... just let them cool a little longer as the skin under the eyes are more sensitive.

i use to be all about herbal tea but as time is limited + being able to sit to eat is a luxury, i have not made it for weeks, maybe over a month.  when i did though, it is always uncomfortable when you have the wet tea bag and need to find a place to put it.  you want it close just in case the tea isn't strong enough.  so maybe these coasters are a good idea or something to be trashed soon after the purchase?  not sure.
