This recipe is so simple and only requires four ingredients. What you’ll need Equipment Scales and measuring jug, one large mixing bowl, silicon mould or muffin cases, metal spoon and an airtight container or jars to store your melts. Ingredients 250g of baking soda, 75ml of water Lavender essential oil Dried lavender (optional) Method Preheat your oven to 160c. Mix the baking soda with your water to make a paste. If using dried lavender, add a sprinkle of lavender to the bottom of your mould. Carefully spoon your mixture into your moulds until they are half full – they will need the room to rise. Place the moulds in your oven for about 15 minutes. Take them out of the oven and add around 15 drops of essential oil into each melt. Once you’ve added your oil, chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set hard. Once they are set you can remove them from their moulds and store them in an airtight container. When you are ready to use them, place one of your melts on the floor of your shower and as the steam hits the lavender melt breathe in the soothing aroma. You could try this recipe with other essential oils such as rose, geranium, eucalyptus or mint.
