This smells just devine ! It's made with epsom salts,
rock salt crystals and very finely grated lemon zest.
The more lemon zest the brighter yellow it will be.
Recipe is about 4 cups epsom salts, 1 cup of rock sea salt smaller crystals so it disolves quicker in water and very finely grated lemon zest until the desired yellow .I use about half / to one cup in the bath water great for tired sore aching bodies or use as a foot soak in a tub for tired sore feet !Also another way to use those lemon skins. Makes a great gift, fill some nice jars with the mixture and write on the label directions for use !
I love it! And your blog is great, glad I have discovered it!
ReplyDeleteI tried this recipe and after a few days the lemon zest was brown and ugly!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous, I don't know why that would be , I have made it heaps of times and mine stays lovely and yellow and the smell is devine, My son used to always have a scoop of it in his baths. The only thing that I can think of is that your zest wasn't really fine enough.or there was sprays or chemicals on your lemon skins , other then that I have no idea why that would be. try another batch.
