Ingredients:
4 tbsp Sea Salt
2 tbsp Fennel Seeds
2 tsp ground Ginger
1 tsp crushed Black Peppercorns
1/2 Grapefruit, sliced
You will also need:
Large piece of muslin or cotton (about 15cm square)
String
Place the ingredients in the centre of the large square of muslin or cotton. Bring the corners up to the centre to form a small pouch and tie with the string. Place in a hot bath and soak in the infusion. After soaking use the bag to massage the skin. If you don't have a bath, you can use the pouch directly in the shower to massage the skin. If you want to make the tea to use later or to give as a gift, just dry the grapefruit slices in a dehumidifier (if you have one), or on a low setting in the oven for an hour (best to do lots though, to save energy).
This also works well as a drinking tea. Just leave out the salt! You could also replace some or all of the ground ginger with fresh for a less punchy flavour. Leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes, and add honey to taste. There should be enough for two cups.
