Milk Bath Recipe - Updated

For those who have taken my bath salt and body scrubs class and wanted the recipe for Milk Baths here is the recipe:

Ingredients
♥ ½ Pint Take Out Container (about 3 oz weight)
♥ ½ cup Milk Powder of your choice: Non-fat, Goat’s Milk, Buttermilk, Cocoanut Milk(vegan), Soy Milk (vegan)
♥ 2 Tablespoons of Fine Sea Salt
♥ 2 Tablespoons of Dried Herbs
Optional: 2-5 Drops of Fragrance or Essential Oils

Equipment
♥ Bowl or plastic bag for combining/mixing
♥ Measuring cups and spoons
♥ Packaging: ½ pint take out container, cello bag, twist tie, muslin bag, ribbon and label

Directions
Using a small 8 oz. plastic cup as a measuring device, start by adding 2 T of sea salt. Then add ½ cup of your choice of powdered milk. Top off the measuring device with about 2 T of dried herbs. Add contents of your cup into a zip lock bag and mix/shake well. Add optional 2-5 drops of fragrance or essential oils to contents in the zip lock bag and mix well. Place cello bag into the take out container. Cut corner off the bag and transfer mixture into cello bag and seal with a twist tie.

Instructions to Use
Simply place 2 Tablespoons of milk bath mixture into a reusable muslin bag and tie it shut. Using a muslin bag in the bath tub helps contain the herbs and dissolve the milk powder bath than just dumping the powders directly into the bath. Drop one into the bath tub while it’s filling. Once in the tub, sit back, relax and let the mixture dissolve into the tub and soften your skin.
