Email templates using bamboo without phoenix

I am working on app in elixir. It sends email to clients. I am using bamboo library for sending emails.

So far, emails are working fine. But now, I am trying to send emails using templates. Everywhere i see in the bamboo documentation is using bamboo.phoenix .

I am not using phoenix for handling requests. I am using a library called plug. Is there a way to send templates in email without phoenix ??

    Directory structure - 

    /priv
 /static
  /test.html.eex

    Function used :

    new_email
|> to("[email protected]")
|> from(@from_email)
|> subject("test")
|> html_body(EEx.eval_file("priv/static/mail_templates/#test.html.eex",[foo: "bar"]))  //this will render the template.Also can pass variables

    test.html.eex

    <h3>Foo: <%= foo %></h3>

    But , we cannot add css just by adding <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> . I guess, There is a need for static server. Do comment if there is another way to add css apart from inline css.
