Cooling Herbal Foot Soak

INGREDIENTS

½ cup dried spearmint (Mentha spicata) leaf

½ cup dried rose (Rosa spp.) petal

¼ cup Epsom salts

¼ cup baking soda

2 quarts (64 fl oz) boiling water

DIRECTIONS

Bring water to a boil on the stove.

Place the spearmint leaves and rose petals in a heat-proof container that has a tight-fitting lid, like a half-gallon canning jar.

Pour the hot water over the peppermint and roses and cover.

Steep for 20-30 minutes.

Strain out the herbs and pour the liquid into a basin or pot that is big enough for your feet.

Add the Epsom salts and baking soda and mix well to thoroughly dissolve.

Top off with enough cool water to make the water temperature comfortable for your feet.

Sit with your feet comfortably submerged in the water for as long as you wish.
