Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Powdered milk
• Baking soda
• Citric acid
• Powdered cinnamon
• Powdered cardamom
• Powdered clove
• Vanilla essential oil
• Almond oil
• Molds
• Waxed paper
• Airtight container

1. Combine 1/8 of a cup powdered milk, 1 and 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup citric acid, 1/8 tsp. cinnamon, 1/8 tsp. cardamom and 1/8 tsp. of powdered clove. Add 15 drops of vanilla essential oil and 2 tsp. of water to the mixture and stir thoroughly.

2. Drizzle 2 to 6 tbsp. of almond oil gradually into the dry mixture, stirring constantly. When you can form a ball with the mixture and it does not crumble, you have added enough oil.
