Christmas is expensive and I always appreciate gifts that are handmade anyway. So this year I decided to make some delicious smelling bath fizzies. I chose to make eucalyptus and rosemary, but any scents work! I love how they turned out and think they will make great gifts!
Materials
1/2 cup citric acid (found at Whole Body)
1 cup baking soda
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cane sugar
food coloring (I used green and blue)
essential oils- eucalyptus & rosemary
mason jars or other containers
flexible silicon ice cube trays
small spray bottle
This "recipe" makes about 1 dozen larger fizzies or about 24 smaller ones.
1. Stir together citric acid, baking soda and cornstarch.
2. Pass mixture through a flour sifter into a mixing bowl. Add in cane sugar.
3. Fill spray bottle with water and several drops of food coloring. Spritz mixture lightly and mix to distribute color. Be careful not to saturate it. You only want it damp enough to be able to mold it in your hands. I ruined my first batch by making it too wet!
4. Pack molds with mixture and let them sit overnight to dry.
5. Next day: press fizzies carefully out of molds and place in mason jars for packaging.
