HENNA PASTE RECIPE- WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED:
- Brewed & Strained Henna Tea ( available above )
- Fresh Henna Powder (Jamila works best for this recipe)
- 10 drops Essential Oils Blend (Tea Tree, Lavender, Geranium, Clove)
- Fresh Lemon ( organic )
- Small Metal Bowl
- Plastic Wrap
- Measuring Spoons
- Tea Strainer
- Mixing Spoon
- 2 Teaspoons Henna Tea
- 3 Drops of Pomegranate Juice concentrate
My Henna Paste Recipe:
In Small Metal Bowl Combine:
- 2 Teaspoons strained Lemon Juice
- 2 Teaspoons Henna Tea
- 3 Drops Pomegranate Juice Concentrate
- 1 level Tablespoon of Henna Powder
Stir ingredients together until mixture is smooth. Scrape any paste or powder from sides of bowl. Form lump of Henna paste in center of bowl. Stir paste again. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let paste rest for at least 8 hours in a warm place. (I let my paste rest overnight - outside in the Florida summer.)
The next morning add:
- 10 drops essential oils blend
Let paste rest for at least 8 hours in a warm place. This recipe makes at least one cone of henna paste, plenty for a henna party. Excess paste may be refrigerated and used with good result for up to 48 hours. If you have too much left over... it's easy to wrap & freeze your henna cone for later use.
