Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon essential oil of your choice
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2-3 drops food coloring optional
- 4 teaspoon freshly brewed green tea
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine baking soda, corn starch and citric acid.
- Add coconut oil and whisk the mixture thoroughly to break any clumps.
- In a separate small bowl, combine, green tea, essential oil and a food coloring.
- Start adding wet ingredients to your dry ingredients ½ - 1 teaspoon at a time. Work with your fingers to mix and blend the mixture.
- When the mixture starts to clump together when you squeeze it with your fingers, stop adding the liquid. You might need to add less than 4 teaspoons of liquid. Make sure not to add too much at once.
- Fill half way of each tin with bath bombs mixture. It should make about 11 bath bombs.
- If you use mini-muffin tin, you can fill the cavities to the top.
- Press hard to pack the mixture as tight as possible.
- Allow the bath bombs to set in the tray for at least 4 hours before inverting them. For optimal results, leave the bombs to dry overnight.
- Lay out a soft towel and carefully turn the muffin tin onto it. You might want to lightly tap on the tray to release all bath bombs.
- Your bombs are ready for use! Enjoy!
Notes
- If you want to add some extra decorations to the bath bombs, it's so easy to do so. Before distributing the mixture among the muffin tin cavities, sprinkle some dried lavender buds on the bottom of each cavity and then pack the mixture. Dried rose petals are also a great choice for decorations.
- Make sure that the food coloring you'll be using is non water based. It's important. Otherwise, the bath bomb mixture will start to fizz before you even pack it into the molds and all your efforts will be for nothing. Powdered dye is a best choice.
- It's important to keep your eye on the amount of liquid you're adding. If you add too much, the mixture will start to fizz and you'll have to toss it. That's what actually happened to my very first take on bath bombs.

- If you have a mini-muffin tin, you can pack the cavities with a mixture to the top. However, since mini-muffin tin has twice as more cavities than a regular muffin tin, you will only use 12 cavities for the bath bombs.
