Bath Salts
Dear Aunt Daisy, Can you give me, through The Listener, a recipe for home-made bath salts? I have some nice bottles that are crying out to be turned into Christmas presents. "Mrs. M.," Opotiki, ._ Here are two recipes, and they do make very charming Christmas presents. The first recipe is the better of the two, 1. Two pounds soda crystals in large basin. Pour over them, a few drops at a time, strong cold tea, until crystals are pale cream. Add 6 or 7 drops sandalwood oil, This doesn’t scent the salts, just holds the scent, Add 2 teaspoons oil of verbena or some other essential oil from thegchemist, Put in bottles, tie with pretty ribbon. For variety \in colour, powdered blue sprinkled over them makes them blue, or any colour can be obtained by using food colourings, 2. One pound borax, 1lb, washing soda, 2 or 3 packets Epsom salts, Mix all together, adding a few drops of essential oil (lavender, etc.). Make a _ rainbow effect in jar by putting layers of three different colours.
