So I made this ‘elixir’ as my coworkers call it for me and a friend cause we are both sick. I bought mine to work for my sick coworkers to try and they loved it. It’s a jar of sliced ginger and lemon and filled with honey and if you let it sit overnight in the fridge it turns into a loose syrup you can use as a cough syrup or to soothe sore throats or mix it in your tea. I added a tiny bit of Damiana cause it helps lift your spirits and a tiny pinch of gold food glitter that makes it sparkle subtly gold to help it feel more magical. It also makes your teas lightly sparkly. My coworkers were calling it a magic brew and potion it was hilarious. I wrote a little thing for my sick friend on it using a paint pen, since she’s a witch too she would find it cute:
Drink with tea
Or eat with a spoon
Do whichever you please
And you’ll feel better soon!
Bath for sunburns🌞🔥
YOU NEED:
•About 5 tea bags of any black tea (I like earl grey because it smells nice)
•About 3 leaf things from an aloe plant
•A container that holds about a liter of water
•WaterBoil the aloe leaves in about a liter water for about 10 minutes or until you think the water has mixed with enough aloe. Take out the leaves if you want clean up to be a little easier but if you want to bathe with the leaves go for it. Wait for the water to cool and pour it into a container and add the tea bags. Allow it to sit for about 30 minutes. Run a bath and add this mixture in with it and leave the tea bags in there too. Take as long of a bath as you wish and rinse everything off when you’re done.
This works so well to relieve sunburns and make it fade faster. The tannin in the tea works wonders for burns. If you have any spots that are worse than others you can just press the tea bags on it and make a compress. I hope y’all get as much use out of this as I do!
