4 black tea bags

8 peppermint tea bags

Simmer the bags in 4 cups of water for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and steep 15 minutes more in the covered pan, then allow to cool. Dab onto affected skin with cotton balls. (If sunburn is all over the body, soak in a warm bathtub to which this tea has been added; and put the tea bags into the tub as well. Add 1 cup of fine dry oatmeal flakes if itchiness is a problem.)
