These are so pretty, and make a great present for Mom, Grandma, or your BFF. You can colour half the salt pink and the other half white, and do a layered effect, although this will work with pretty much any colour. You’ll need:
• A bowl to mix everything in
• 20 drops peppermint essential oil
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or baby oil, or any oil you like)
• A spoon to mix with
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• 1/2 cup salt
• A glass jar – the small Melrose bottle with label removed works great
• food colouring (optional)
Mix the oils together, then add the salt and Epsom salt. Add food colouring (if using) and mix well. Scoop your mixture into the jars you will be using. Put a pretty label and some ribbon on. Voila – your gift is done.
This is good for four baths – you use around a quarter of a cup per bath. If you want to make more, simply double or triple the recipe as required.
