Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Baking soda
• Citric acid
• Instant coffee
• Powdered milk
• Fragrance oils or essential oils (coffee, vanilla, chocolate)
• Almond oil
• Molds
• Waxed paper
• Air-tight container

1. Mix 1 and 1/4 cups baking soda, 1/2 cup citric acid, 1/8 cup of instant coffee and 1/8 cup of powdered milk in a large bowl. If you are using large-grain instant coffee, powder it a bit more with a mortar and pestle.

2. Add 1 tsp. of water and 15 drops of a fragrance oil or essential oil of your choice. Other options include coffee, vanilla and chocolate or a combination of your choice.

3. Drizzle between 2 and 6 tbsp. of almond oil slowly into the mixture, stirring constantly. When you can form a ball with the ingredients and the ball does not easily crumble, you have added enough oil.

4. Pack your bath bombs firmly into lightly oiled molds, allowing them to remain in the mold for a minute or two before tapping your finished bath bombs onto waxed paper to dry. Once thoroughly dry, store your bombs in an air-tight container.
