Herbal Shampoo

1 cup spring water
1 tablespoon orange peel
1 tablespoon nettle
2 teaspoons rosemary
1 tablespoon chamomile
1 teaspoon peppermint
2 cups castile soap (I prefer Dr. Bronner's unscented baby castile)
8 drops grapefruit essential oil*

Bring water to boil, then remove from heat. Add the herbs, cover and
steep for 45 minutes. Strain and cool the infusion, then add it to
the castile soap (I put all the ingredients in a medium sized pot and
stirred well so that it blended well). Pour into a bottle** and add
grapefruit EO.

* - a natural preservative
** - make sure bottle is large enough to hold 3 cups of liquid. I use a
large spray bottle I got from the garden center of WalMart
