This is a bath for sharing! Anise is an herbal aroma that is enjoyed by men and women both! So why not share!! Licorice root can be used instead of anise seeds. I also recommend using anise hyssop in addition to this recipe I've acquired:
A quarter cup each of: jasmine tea, anise seeds, rose petals, and mint leaves.
Place this into bath sachets and steep into 2 cups of boiling water for 10-15 minutes. Then add to your hot water bath! Place a few candles around tub, and fill a couple of champagne glasses with a favorite wine or juice! And enjoy!
