Candy Cane Bath Salts

Source of Recipe


From "Natural Beauty for All Seasons" by Janice Cox



List of Ingredients



• 2 cups Epsom salts
  
• ½ cup rock salt
  
• 4 to 6 drops essential oil of peppermint
  
• 2 to 3 drops red food coloring
  






Instructions



1. Place 1 cup of the Epsom salts and ¼ cup of rock salt in a mixing bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add 2 or 3 drops of peppermint oil and mix until evenly distributed.
   
   
2. Place the remaining 1 cup of Epsom salts and ¼ cup of rock salt in a separate bowl or bag. Add food coloring and mix until the color is a pleasant shade of red. Add 2 to 3 drops of peppermint oil and mix well.
   
   
3. In a large jar, layer the white salts and red salts. You want to create a candy cane-striped effect. Put the lid on the container, tie a bow around the jar, and add real candy canes. A truly great gift idea!
