Ingredients & Supplies

2 cups Epsom salts
10 drops peppermint essential oil
green or blue food coloring
1-2 baby wipes
funnel
1 pint canning jar or other container

Directions

Pour the Epsom salt into a mixing bowl, and break up any lumps.
Add the food coloring onto the baby wipe, then use a spoon to mix the colored wipe around. The more drops you use, the more saturated the color will be. Once the salts are tinted the color you like, throw away the baby wipe.
Now for the scent – add 10 drops of peppermint essential oil to the salts and mix. Use the funnel to pour the salts into the jar, then seal tightly.
You can add a simple ribbon around the jar for a pretty little homemade gift.

How to Use

Add 1/2 cup of the Epson salts to a basin of warm water and soak your feet for 20 minutes.
