Catnip for split ends?

Ktani, I made this recipe back in October I liked it. Would you critique it though, please?

2 cups 180 degree water
1/3 cup cat nip
4 hibiscus flowers
1 Stash tea bag - Chamomile

Steep for 1/2 hour strain and refrigerate

From the perspective of a catnip recipe, you have too little of it to too much water and from my experience, catnip works best with nothing added to it.

How did it work for you? That is what you need to consider most.

I would not call it a catnip treatment but a conditioning recipe with catnip added.

Have I misunderstood something, is 1/3 cup of catnip, to little to around 300 ml of water?

I use 1 level teaspoon catnip to just under 300 ml of boiled water.

1/3 cup catnip is a difficult measure but 2 cups of water, is almost 500 ml of water.

Ok, I thought 1 cup was about 150 ml.
1/3 cup catnip to 2 cups of water, wounds like very much catnip, compared to your 1/2 teaspoon

I use 1 level teaspoon, not 1/2 teaspoon to just under 300 mol boiled water.

Oh, I wrote wrong, I meant 1 teaspoon. I use to take ½ teaspoon and half as much water as you.
It still sounds much with 1/3 cup catnip to 2 cups of water.

I did not work out exactly how much 1 teaspoon is to 1/3 cup. I tried to use a conversion table but I am not sure it worked well enough. It still seems to be too little catnip to that much water, to me.

Even if it is close, I only use and prefer to use, catnip with nothing added to it, at the dilution I stated. That is how I have achieved the success with it that I have.

Chamomile built-up on my hair, so did mucilage etc. Hibiscus is very acidic and contains mucilage.

However, the most important question, is how the recipe worked or did not, for ljkforu.

I was asked for my critique and I gave it. I can only speak for what worked or works for me.

Ok. I just was confused when calculating in my head.

No worries. I was confused too, lol. I prefer to just measure it with a measuring spoon for 1 teaspoon.
