Ingredients

1 1/2 cups bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1/2 cup citric acid, powder
2 teaspoons sweet almond oil
essential oil (or fragrance)
food coloring

Preparation

First you need to make the base mix, to do this sift together the bicarb soda& citric acid in a large dry bowl.
Transfer 1/2 cup AT A TIME to another dry bowl, to this add any dried flowers, glitter etc.
Set aside.
In a small bowl mix together 1/2 teaspoon AT A TIME of almond oil, 6- 8 drops of your chosen essential oil& 6 drops of food colouring.
Pour the oil mixture into the 1/2 cup of base mix& mix QUICKLY before it starts to fizz!
Combine with your fingertips until all colour is evenly distributed.
Wipe a little sweet almond oil inside your moulds.
Fill the moulds with the mixture, packing it in firmly.
Repeat this process with 1/2 a cup at a time, using different fragrance/colour blends if you wish.
Leave the bath bombs to set for 24- 36 hours.
When set lightly tap the mould & ease out gently.
*Hot water activates the fizzy bath bombs a lot better than cold water!
