How to Make Orange Wassail Bath Salts

Wassail is a traditional hot Christmastime drink similar to spiced cider. The name comes from wæs hæil, a Middle English phrase that means be healthy.

INGREDIENTS

1 c. Epsom salts

2 tbsp. baking soda

10 drops orange essential oil

2 drops clove essential oil

3 drops vegetable glycerin

orange food coloring or powdered mica coloring, as desired

DIRECTIONS:

Mix ingredients in glass or plastic bowl until coloring and glycerin are evenly mixed. Spread mixture out in plastic dish or pan and let dry completely. Store in plastic bag or container and keep tightly covered to prevent clumping.

Bonus Idea

Try other Christmas-y scents like apple, vanilla, or gingerbread for a luxurious holiday soak. Adapt the bag embellishments to match each enticing aroma.
