How do you use chamomile tea with the honey and distilled water mix? I've been wanting to know how to incorporate it, but I don't know exactly what to do with the chamomile tea :\
I never boil my honey because when you boil the water then put the honey in (or vice versa), it'll kill off some of the natural properties in the honey. What I do is, I take a measuring cup, pour 1/2 of distilled water in it, put the chamomile tea bag in the water as well then I put the measuring cup in the microwave for about 2 minutes. I use 100% pure chamomile tea or either sleepy time which is also chamomile tea mixed with a lot more organic flavors. Once I take the measuring cup out... I take the tea bag out, squeeze the remainder of tea from the bag back into the measuring cup and throw the tea bag away, after that I add my 100% honey into the mixture and stir it until it dissolves, and I put a saucer over the measuring cup to let the mixture cool down for about an hour and after that then I start using it every other hour (for as long as I'm awake). Even though, it looks like my mixture won't be a lot and just seems like 1/2 cup mixture its not, after I'm down mixing and things the measuring cup with be at 1 cup.... Its the honey that boosts it up. Once the mixture has cooled down for an hour, I put it in my spritz bottle (which ends up being full and having a little left over), then I use a q-tip to dip it into the mixture and put into my eyes, and walla there you have it.
I put more honey in my mixture than water.... The more honey than the better, however, my eyes feel like they're in HELL when I put the drops in (but I'm still able to tolerate it), and my results are coming along magnificently. ..... I will be posting images later down the line.
Thank you! I never boil my water either. Thank you so much for explaining what to do. Yeah, I've also felt that the more honey you put, the better. When I use the honey/water drops, I put 4 teaspoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of distilled water. How much honey do you put in your mixture with the chamomile? You're amazing, thank you so much! I can't wait to see your images!
I don't always use the chamomile tea every time I make a new batch, I sometimes do it. However, when using the chamomile tea I just put like 2-4 tablespoons of honey in my mixture.
Without the chamomile tea, I just put like 3/4 of distilled water in a measuring cup then I put 2 dessert spoons of honey in the mixture, and let it sit for an hour then I apply the drops to my eyes, every other hour (for as long as I'm awake).
