The goal is to have a toothpaste like or hot cream of wheat consistency that allows the henna paste to be extruded from the tip of a cone in a fine string. If you are using a toothpick applicator, the henna texture can be a bit thicker. You can store henna paste, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Basic Henna Recipe

1. Teaspoon (5 g) powdered henna, sifted to a talcum powder consistency.

2. Teaspoon (10 ml) distilled water or brewed dark tea, boiled and cooled to room temperature

3. 5 drops henna oil

4. 2 drops clove oil.

(a) In a glass or plastic bowl, combine the henna powder, water, and eucalyptus oil. Mix only after all the ingredients have been added, and mix only in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). Stir quickly to eliminate all lumps.
