When I went to the super market the other day I noticed there was a new range of Twinings green tea that was flavoured with different fruit combinations, I picked up the mango and lychee one and also the mint one as they were two for £2.

So I tossed my used tea bag into a small bowl and topped up with water and let it steep over night removed the tea bag and added in a capful of witch hazel to add a little astringent in it.

I dipped in my flannel and wiped it over my face and let it dry. It felt fantastic, it was refreshing like the shop bought ones but without the stingy-alcoholic tight feeling afterwards.
