Remember to make a steeping cloth (a thin linen piece to place all your herbs in wrapped tightly in twine)

You may stir the ingredients up before placing them inside the linen piece folding the sides up all around it and tying twine tightly at the top (almost like a balloon) Place in bath do not let the bag sit for more than 15 minutes or you will burn the leaves.
