Red Baker’s Twine

How to Make Peppermint Bath Salts:

• In small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup Epsom Salt, 1/2 tbsp. Baking Soda, and 2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil.  Stir well.
• In separate small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup Epsom Salt, 1/2 tbsp. Baking Soda, 2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil, and about 80 drops Red Food Coloring {or substitute just a few drops of Red Food Coloring Gel}.  Stir well.
• Carefully spoon mixture into your favorite small jar, alternating colors for a candy cane like look! 😉

Notes:

If you or someone you know is allergic to dyes, you can easily just leave out the food coloring altogether if you’d like. They will smell just as amazing. And if you’re giving it as a gift, you could just dress up the jar a little more… maybe attach a mini candy cane on the outside or a pretty ribbon and bow?
