Instructions

How to Air Dry Peony Petals

  • Harvest fresh blooms that are fully opened.
  • Gently pull the petals from the flower heads and discard the centers (they’re bulkier and take longer to dry).
  • Lay the petals in a single layer on a mesh drying screen, cooling rack, or paper towel. Keep them in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated area.
  • Dry for 3–7 days, turning them a few times.
  • Once dry, store petals in a sealed jar away from direct light and moisture until you're ready to make your bath soak.

How to Make Peony Bath Soak

  • Mix the salts and dried peony petals together and store in an airtight container.
  • Use 1/2-1 cup per bath, depending on how strong you want it.
