Рецепт Peppermint sugar scrub
Peppermint sugar scrub
It has been a while, but I think it's time for a recipe that you can't eat.
While the holidays are a food blogger's dream -- that is, having the perfect excuse to spend all your free time baking -- it's also a great time to do a little making, too.
And, trust me, you don't have to be crafty. At all.
Case in point: this peppermint sugar scrub.
Who doesn't love to get a fun, spoil-yourself, spa-style gift for the holidays?
There really is nothing to this gift: mix the ingredients, pack it into some cute jars, wrap it with some festive ribbon and you're done. I used peppermint oil in this scrub because it seemed wintry and holiday-ish. You could certainly substitute other scents -- lavender, rosemary, whatever is your favorite -- and adjust the color accordingly.
It's not too late to have a handmade holiday.

Peppermint Sugar Scrub
Ingredients:
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/3 cup almond oil (you may use a little less or a little more)
- peppermint essential oil
- red food coloring
Directions:
Place the sugar in a mixing bowl and slowly add the almond oil, starting with 1/4 cup, stirring until the mixture reaches a consistency you like. Add a few drops of the essential oil and a few drops of food coloring (start with a just a little first, as you don't want it to be too dark) and blend. Pack the sugar scrub into jars (I used half-pint jars and this mixture filled three of them), pressing down a bit with the back of a spoon. Apply ribbon and labels or whatever embellishment you've chosen.
