Adding anything boiling to your henna will make it grainy and give ita bad texture to work with. So just adding warm/hot liquids is a good
bet. The warmth from the liquids will also decrease the dye release
time for your henna. I also find that nuking my paste for about 15-20
seconds can get it to release almost immediately.
