GRETA GARBO'S

I WANT TO BE ALONE

BATH SOAK

Greta Garbo was an actress from Sweden who gained such a following

during the height of her fame in Hollywood that her fans were called

"Garbo-mainiacs" Her line "I want to be alone" from the movie Grand Hotel, became

her trademark. Greta was a recluse despite her fame and liked to sip Chamomile tea while she

soaked in the bath. This simple recipe was created by Janice Cox in honor of her.

3 Chamomile Tea Bags

3 Fresh Oranges (Sliced)

Tie the teabags under the pour spout on your bathtub and start filing

the tub with warm water. Add the slices of orange to the bathwater,

close the bathroom door and if anyone knocks tell them you want to be alone

(for at least an hour or two!)

Option: Save a few slices of the oranges for a snack

and brew yourself a cup of Chamomile tea to

 enjoy before you  start your luxurious escape
