As you may have already guessed based on the smell of Tea Tree oil, its not really one that you would want to drink or cook with. But don’t worry, I won’t leave you guys hanging on recipes today. Instead of doing Tasty Tuesday, we are going to mix things up and do a “Take Care Tuesday” instead. Because Tea Tree is so great at helping to support the immune system and is an anti-fungal, anti-septic, it is really great to use in first aid and in aiding to prevent colds and flus! So lets get to it!
