Do you ever make a big batch and store the rest for future use?

The one time I did, these uninvited guests named mold came and enjoyed it. I read to put it in the fridge, but then Ill leave it out and forget about it. Caffeine also has a half life, so if I can't use it within a few hours I don't bother anymore. Thats just my personal choice though.
 
Has anyone frozen their tea mixtures? I was thinking about using ice cube trays to freeze my brewed tea. I could add a few cubes of this mix and a few of that depending on what my hair demands. Then let it thaw. Bam! Unless this makes the tea less potent....... Hmmmmmm? Does anyone know?

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
HanaKuroi I haven't tried that but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I do that with coconut milk.


Tea blend from yesterday applied to my roots and amla tea applied all over, may steam

This sounds like a good idea if you label the trays. IDT it will make it less potent by freezing it. I like to cook things and freeze some for another time. It would prob make them more potent.
 
I am starting my tea testing journey today. Each week before conditioning I will do a tea rinse with green tea. After my conditioner I will spritz one half of my head with the tea of the week to see if I can determine what teas my hair likes. I am just using what is in my pantry before I start buying anything. I will try them on my hair and if it doesn't work then I will try drinking them. If I don't like them either way I will toss it :lol: I probably have about 15 to 20 teas between what my mom bought and what I bought.

This week is sarsaparilla.

I did a tea rinse with Black tea and roobios...my hair was so soft and fluffy!

I also made a moisturising tea to mix into my dc - irish moss/marshmallow root/burdock root/blue malva.
 
Brewed some dark roast and poured it on under my DC.

Finished my wash session with Shi Naturals Tea Rinse. Left it for 5 minutes then rinsed. Perfect.
 
Okay...so I mixed up the Fenugreek paste inspired by the vid from another thread. I had some seeds that I ground up in a coffee grinder so didnt need to let it sit overnight.

Well it came out ULTRA creamy and slippy. Cant wait to put it on! Im gonna wash and DC with it right now.

In case anyones interested heres a few pics:

I blended it really well

I used too much powder. It was cloggin up the blender so took some out to go in the freezer. I blended some more then added my oils.

I tried that fenugreek…. Slip City. Next time, I will let it sit overnight. I thought 8 hours was enough, but it needs more like a day. I think more time would have allowed it to be more pasty (I still have pieces). It was still really good though.
 
Tried the sarsaparilla last night. It didn't do much for my hair but it didn't hurt it either. That is a good thing. Some teas make my hair feel brittle and wiry.

One day I will grow up to be like you ladies with the fabulous blends :yep: But in the meantime, 1 tea at a time.

I still have a few fine granules left in there but thats okay. Will prob cowash midweek. Next time will scoop out some and add conditioner. That will help with the pieces. I still have 3/4 left!
