Green Chai Toner

3 organic green tea bags

5 drops organic tea tree oil

2 drops geranium oil

1 drop eucalyptus oil

1 mg green tea extract

1 mg Acai extract

Yield:

5 ounces

This toner makes a great soothing potion for blemishes that tend to pop up overnight. According to
studies, Acai berry extract contains more antioxidants than red grapes, which makes it an
excellent inflammation quencher. It’s also thought to have cancer preventive properties. Acai
berry is harvested in Brazil rain forests, so make sure to buy an extract that was ethically
harvested.

1. Steep the green tea stronger than you’d usually drink (for about ten minutes). Let the tea
   cool until it’s lukewarm. Keep the cup covered to preserve the steam that may carry
   beneficial volatile compounds of the tea.


2. Blend well. Remove the teabags and add all the oils and extracts.


3. Store this toner in the fridge for up to one month, but do not freeze.
