  • To use, measure 1 cup of Mustard Bath - or throw one bath tea bag - into a hot running bath. Soak for 20 minutes, rinse off.

Notes

* If you are using the spice grinder to process the lavender down to a finer powder, do so before mixing it in to the baggie.
Measure the lavender into the spice grinder, blitz until you're happy with, and add it to the mix.
