In some traditions, the depth of henna's hue is believed to reflect the depth of love a woman has for her man. In other traditions, the depth of color reflects the love a mother-in-law bears for her son's wife: the richer the shade, the deeper and more genuine the love.

There are thousands of recipes for henna paste and thousands more for the lemon/sugar aftermath. Recipes are hoarded and treasured and kept as family secrets. A very basic recipe follows: feel free to improvise. Some substitute a shot of espresso for the tea. Others add assorted spices, like cardamom, cloves or fenugreek. Saffron is an expensive but seductive addition. Pink or red rose petals can be added, too. Okra is sometimes used to thicken the paste. Strain all solids from the liquid before adding henna. Have fun!
