So this is a little more complicated than the others, but the extra effort is so worth it. It’s indulgent and sweet-smelling.

Steep the 4 herbs in the boiling water to make an infusion - 20 minutes is a good time. Then strain and discard the herbs. While the herbs are infusing, add the soap, glycerin, witch hazel and essential oil to a bowl. Combine and mix well. Now mix the herbal infusion and the soap mix together. Add the gelatin and stir until dissolved. Once fully cooled, pour the gel into a squeezy bottle. 1-2 tablespoons added to the running bath water does the business.
