a few weeks ago I made up a few jars of
this yummy citrus body scrub
for some friends as gifts.
it was super easy to make
I did not have the lemon extract it called for so I used coconut extract and it made
it smell like a tropical getaway!
so yummy!
here is what you need
1 1/2 cups of kosher salt
2 Tbs. citrus zest
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 tsp. lemon extract (I used coconut)
1 small glass jar or other container
first you fill your jar with kosher salt
and then add in your citrus zest-
I used a combination of lemon, lime, grapefruit & orange to make it extra fragrant
but you can do any combo you want!
then you use the end of a wooden spoon to smash the zest down into the salt
add in 1 cup vegetable oil & mix
(next time I'll try a different oil for sure!)
add some pretty twine and a label and there you have it!
a thoughtful handmade gift that is very affordable!
