A homemade oatmeal bath tea recipe with with added lavender and Epsom salts for a luxurious soak! Simple to assemble, and with free printable labels, this bath tub tea makes a beautiful gift.

I saw some giant bath tea-bags for sale in a British tea shop “Whittards of Chelsea” a few years ago and I always wanted to have a go at making some myself, so this was the perfect excuse!

There are some fabulous blog posts for homemade tub tea, such as radmegan , garden therapy , and evermine , and I’ve taken inspiration from these for my recipe.

In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make homemade oatmeal bath tea with relaxing lavender, soothing oatmeal and Epsom salts. It’s so easy to assemble, and I’ve included printable labels for making either bath tea bags or a jar of loose bath tea.

Bath Tea Recipe: Ingredients

The quantities listed here will make one 500 mL (18 fl. oz) jar of bath salts or six size-3 tea-bags. Vary the quantity according to your needs.

For the homemade oatmeal bath tea you will need:

• 1 cup Epsom salts
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 2 Tbsp dried lavender
• 1 mL (approximately 20 drops) lavender essential oil

To package your tea, you will need:

• 500 mL (18 fl. oz) glass jar
• double-sided tape
• our printed jar labels (see below)
• metal tea infuser (optional)

OR

• six size-3 empty tea-bags*
• cotton string (I used embroidery floss cut into 6 inch/15cm lengths)
• stapler
• double-sided tape
• and our free labels (see below)

*For the empty tea-bags, I used T-Sac disposable paper filter tea-bags which I purchased online from Woodland Herbs in the U.K. For our readers from the USA, you can order disposable tea filters  online from Amazon.
