I thought of putting the brewed tea in separate smaller containers. That didn't work. Then I came up with something even better - tea ice cubes! By making ice cubes with the tea I can defrost as much as I want whenever I want without diluting the tea!
Here's how I make the tea rinse ice cubes
- Fill up a saucepan with about 4 cups of water. This can be tap or filtered water
- Heat up the water to boiling
- Take the boiling water off the stove and put two tea bags in the water to steep
- After about 15 minutes let the tea cool to at least room temperature and pour it into the ice trays (4 cups of water typically fills up about 1 1/2 trays)
- Let the tea freeze until it's solid cubes before removing it from the trays and storing it in a freezer-safe container
Do you prepare your tea in advance of your tea rinses?
I haven't done a tea rinse in forever. But I do think thy can be effective. Trying to cut down on the many steps of my wash day to speed things up a bit. The ice cubes are a great idea though!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on cutting down the number of steps. That's why I've started combining some of steps. For tea rinses I do them when I'm also conditioning. You can read more about it in my Why I Do Tea Rinses Post http://www.arelaxedgal.com/2015/05/why-i-do-tea-rinses-on-my-relaxed-hair.html.
