Just thought I'd let everyone know about a modification of Fia's gel
method to make it a bit less messy. First of all, thanks Fia! I
love the gel technique--it is so much easier!! Ok, instead of
pouring the water over the henna and herbs (and whatever you add to
your mix), put your ingredients in one of those paper tea diffusers
(or any other diffuser--but don't use metal, remember). You may have
to use MANY of them to fit all of your ingredients. But, when the
soak is over you just pull them out--no need to run the mix through
cheesecloth. It is as easy as making tea! You may want your mix to
sit longer with this method, since the ingredients are not dispersed
in the liquid. Anyway, after you have taken out the henna and other
goodies, you have your water/dye, and you can follow Fia's
instructions to "gel" it. Have fun!
