Easy to make Epsom bath salts cubes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Epsom salts
- 1 heaped tablespoon bicarbonate of soda
- 3 teaspoons glycerine
- 2 teaspoons water
- Rice bran oil (for greasing)
Directions
|
1.
|
Mix together the dry ingredients into a large microwave proof bowl. |
|
2.
|
Combine the glycerine and water in a separate bowl and mix until well blended. |
|
3.
|
Pour the liquid onto the dry mixture and stir until well blended. When mixed in it will look like wet sand. |
|
4.
|
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. |
|
5.
|
Grease the molds with a drop of oil and blot up any excess oil with some paper towel. |
|
6.
|
Pour the heated mixture into the molds until 1/2 to 3/4 full. The mixture will continue to expand; if they get too high wait until it has cooled a bit and press them back down. |  |
|
7.
|
Leave the bath cubes to cool completely (about 2 hours) and harden then turn the molds over and gently press the cubes out. |
|
8.
|
Store the cubes in an airtight container until ready to use. |
Note
Low Chemical / Failsafe
Any type of mold can be used, large or small. Silicon molds are better as they are easier to push out.
