Equipment

  • Small pot
  • Strainer

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup aloe vera gel
  • 1 TBSP lavender flowers
  • 1 TBSP marshmallow root (or leaf or flower)
  • 1 TBSP comfrey leaf (or root)
  • 1 TBSP calendula flowers
  • 1 TBSP peppermint leaf
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • In a small pot bring the water to a boil.
  • Add the herbs, cover with a lid, and turn off the heat. Let steep for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the herbs out and reserve the water. Some of the water may have evaporated but you should have at least 1 and 3/4 cups of tea. Put the herbal tea in the fridge to cool.
  • Once the herbal tea is no longer hot, stir in the aloe vera gel.
  • Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze.
  • Rub on sunburned skin as needed to help cool and soothe.

Notes

  • You can store your sunburn soothing ice cubes in a reusable silicone bag in the freezer until ready to use.
  • These should last for at least a year in the freezer.
