Holiday Bath Salt

Ingredients:

Click on the ingredients for more information.

6 drops Peppermint

3 drops red food coloring

2 1/2 cup Bath Salt (unscented)

Place 1 1/4 cup of salt in a bowl. Add 3 drops peppermint oil. Place the remaining ingredients in a second bowl. Mix all ingredients well. Layer the red and white salts in a clear bottle or jar. We placed the lid on the jar and then put a paper doily over the lid, tied a red ribbon and a candy cane around the lid/doily. With the red and white layering, it makes an attractive presentation. Since peppermint is an energizing scent perhaps it's a good one to use at this busy time of year.
