by | Jan 4, 2025 | garden to cup, recipes


As winter settles in and the cold, dry air takes its toll on your skin, your feet could probably use a little extra TLC. After weeks of being bundled up in socks and boots, it’s easy for your feet to feel tired, dry, and neglected. This soothing green tea foot soak is the perfect way to warm up and give your tootsies some much-needed care during the chilly season. Packed with the natural goodness of green tea, rose petals, lavender, and peppermint, this foot soak is both nourishing and rejuvenating, making it the ideal remedy for winter-weary feet.

The acidity from green tea helps gently exfoliate tough, calloused skin, softening rough spots and bringing a fresh glow to your feet. Lavender works its magic to relax tight muscles and ease tension, while rose petals hydrate and soften the skin, leaving your feet feeling pampered. The cool, refreshing touch of peppermint invigorates and energizes, creating a soothing contrast to the cold weather and leaving your feet feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

For an extra boost, adding Epsom salts to the soak enhances the experience, providing additional therapeutic benefits. Whether you’re unwinding after a long winter day or simply taking a moment to yourself, this herbal foot soak helps restore balance, smoothness, and comfort to your feet. It’s the perfect way to give yourself a little luxury, even in the heart of winter, and prepare your feet for the warmer days ahead.

 

Herbal Green Tea Foot Soak

SOAKING INGREDIENTS
• 1/4 cup of organic green tea of choice – either Organic Midnight Jasmine Green or Organic Special Chunmee #1
• 1/2 cup of organic rose petals
• 1/4 cup of organic lavender blossoms
• 1/4 cup of organic peppermint leaves
Optional but recommended: 1/2 cup of Epsom Salts

DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl mix all ingredients together well, and divide between 2 reusable cotton tea bags

How to Use the Green Tea Foot Soak:

  1. Prepare the Water: Begin by filling a foot basin with 4 liters (2 quarts) of hot water. The water should be warm but not too hot, so you can comfortably soak your feet.
  2. Brew the Herbal Soak: In a teapot or heatproof container, steep one herbal foot soak bag in 2 cups of boiled water for 10 minutes. Allow the herbs to infuse the water and release their soothing properties.
  3. Combine and Infuse: Pour the steeped herbal water, along with the foot soak bag, into the basin of hot water. Leave the herbal bag in the water to continue infusing the soak as you relax.
  4. Adjust the Temperature: Before dipping your feet in, test the water temperature and adjust it to your comfort level. Once it feels just right, gently place your feet in the soak. Let your feet soak for 10–15 minutes, allowing the herbs to work their magic while you unwind.
  5. Finish with Care: After soaking, use a foot scrub to exfoliate any dead skin and calluses. Dry your feet thoroughly and finish by moisturizing with your favorite foot balm for extra softness and hydration.

Enjoy your soothing, rejuvenating foot soak—perfect for pampering your feet during the winter months!

NOTES
* Know your allergies – if any ingredients are a concern be sure to do a skin patch test BEFORE you put your feet into a foot soak of flowers and herbs.
