You Will Need (4 things)

  • Red Food Coloring
  • 1 Jar Large Enough To Hold 1 Quart
  • 1 qt Bath Salts
  • 1 cup Dried Peppermint (you may use peppermint tea)

Steps (5 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    In a big bowl, mix the Epsom salts with the dried peppermint.

  2. 2

    Separate your Epsom salts into two bowls (don't use bowls you plan on eating from in the future or care about tremendously).

  3. 3

    Add 8 to 10 drops of food coloring to one bowl of the Epsom salts and use your fingers to work it through.

  4. 4

    Layer your now two-tone salts in the jar by spooning about an inch of the un-dyed salt into the jar, followed by an inch of red salts. Repeat until you use all of the salt.

  5. 5

    Add a pretty tag or bow and give it someone you like/love! Happy Holidays!
