Courtyard Milk Bath

Who would think that a little milk, a little salt and a little fragrance could offer so much. Okay, it's not quite this simple, but almost.

2 cups dry powdered milk
1/2 cup Epsom salts
1/2 cup baking soda
6 drops rose scented oil
5 drops vanilla scented oil
4 drops lavender scented oil
4 drops lemongrass scented oil

In a large bowl, combine the ingredients above and then transfer to a decorative jar. In the fall, canning jars are sold by the dozen and you could put some aside for gift giving.

Feel free to play with the amounts of scented oil until the scent is yours alone.

*Add about a cup to your bath and then enjoy.

*Scented oil is a blend of essential oil and a carrier oil such as sweet almond, apricot kernel, grapeseed, jojoba or even olive oil if none of these are available.
