~ Green Tea Thyme Toner ~

• 4 to 5 good quality green tea
  bags or several heaping teaspoons of green tea leaves
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup of fresh thyme roughly chopped
• 2 cups of mineral or vitamin  water 
• small pot

Combine all ingredients in a small pot. Bring the pot to a boil then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the tea and thyme steep until cool. This will make a rich, highly concentrated green tea and thyme solution.

Squeeze out each tea bag thoroughly over the pot, press the thyme with the back of a spoon to release every bit of the herb, and then strain liquid into a container.
