In my humble little opinion, your henna is beyond repair, tired to
the core, worn out and stale. Good henna should stain well when
mixed only with lemon juice. You shouldn't boil the henna, but it is
advised that the lemon juice be warm when it is mixed with the henna
powder.

All the additions to the basic mix of henna powder and lemon juice
(such as tea, coffee, cloves, wine, pomegranate skin etc.) are just
minor additives to pump up the color. With good henna you don't need
them.

Don't be too discouraged just get new fresh henna, and then go to any
number of websites that give instructions on mixing up a great batch
of henna paste. I have complete instructions at

Keep experimenting and asking questions.
