The Tea Trials

Following on from the different medicinal uses of tea, I have tried exploring some of

My own tea uses! One to cure acne, one to make hair healthier and one to prevent a cold!

Trial one: Green Tea Scrub! Green tea is full of antioxidants! These little buddies are perfect to relieve your skin from stress and environmental pollution! The fine grains exfoliate your skin leaving your skin feeling refreshed and squeaky-clean! Recipe (my own tried and tested formula)

-       One brewed green tea bag (cooled)

-       3 tablespoons of Olive oil  (to bind and hydrate your skin whilst scrubbing)

-       3 tablespoons of lemon (to get rid of marks)

 Usage: mix these ingredients together and scrub your face two times a week very gently to help you get rid of acne marks and reveal youthful, radiant skin! Result: clearer skin in 4 weeks! (Few marks are still visible but definitely better than before!)

Another recipe you can try :

Trial 2:  Hair rinse

Recipe:

- 3 tea bags

- 500 ml of water 

- Brew in a bowl for 10 minutes.

Usage: after washing your hair with normal shampoo and conditioner, rinse your hair with the brewed green tea water for a shiny and healthy scalp!

Results: I could not see a difference 

Trial 3:

A homemade recipe to cure a cold (for one): 

-       2 oranges (rich in vitamin c and anti oxidants, helps you boost your immune system)

-       1 kiwi

-       1 banana

-       1 tablespoon honey

-       A little ice and water to blend it all together.

This smoothie is full of healthy fruits and immune system boosting ingredients. Like Mrs Beeton, I have also attempted to use a fruit Rich in vitamin C (in her cold remedy she uses lemon juice)

 Result:
