Ingredients: 1 cup Epsom salts ½ cup kosher salt 1 quart size, freezer grade re-sealable plastic bag Food coloring Essential oils Baking sheet Wax paper Funnel Mason jar, for storage or bottles.
*Note: You can purchase a variety of essential oils, like lavender or eucalyptus, at your local craft or natural food store. Or use vanilla, lemon or mint extract that might be in your kitchen!
Directions: Place both salts into the plastic bag. Add one drop of food coloring, close the bag and shake to distribute color. Repeat this process until the desired color is achieved throughout the salt. Add a couple drops of essential oil to the bag, seal and shake to distribute the scent. Repeat this process until the desired scent is achieved, about 5-10 drops. Spread out the salts on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and allow them to dry for 1-2 hours to reduce clumping Carefully pour the salts into the jar with a funnel, then screw the lid tightly to preserve the scent. *Note: Its important to add only one drop of food coloring at a time because multiple drops may begin to melt the salt. *Note: Use a seashell or decorative tablespoon for the perfect scoop! Attach it to the lid with a ribbon, add a decorative label and you have a thoughtful gift! |
