    Vanilla Spice Powder

    Source of Recipe


    From "Organic Body Care Recipes" by Stephanie Tourles

    List of Ingredients


    • 1½ cups cornstarch
    • 1 cup rice flour
    • ½ cup white clay
    • 3 vanilla beans, chopped into ¼-inch pieces
    • 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
    • 1 tablespoon nutmeg powder
    • 50 drops each of the following essential oils: vanilla, cinnamon bark; cardamom


    Instructions


    1. Combine all ingredients except the essential oils in a large bowl or food processor. Stir slowly with a whisk or whirl in the food processor for 15 seconds until well blended. The vanilla beans will remain in pieces.

    2. Using a mortar and pestle, combine the essential oils drop by drop with 6 or 7 tablespoons of powder until the oil is absorbed. Add this oil mixture to the remaining powder and whisk the mixture slowly or shake vigorously in a large container with a tight-fitting lid. If using a food processor, whirl for 15 seconds to blend.

    3. Store powder in an airtight storage container in a cool, dark place for 3 days to allow the scent of the essential oils, spices, and vanilla beans to permeate the mixture. Package the powder in smaller containers if desired.

      Makes 3â…› cups


      • Application Tips:
      Apply as you would any body powder - by sprinkling or "puffing" over entire body or only certain areas.
