- 1 cup of Epsom Salts
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Oil
- 2 or 3 drops of yellow food coloring

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, stirring well to distribute the color and fragrance. Set aside overnight. Stir again and pour into a decorative jar. Makes one cup.
For a layered look, divide the epsom salts into two bowls. Add 1/4 teaspoon lemon oil to each bowl. Add 2 drops of lemon food coloring to one of the bowls. Stir each bowl thoroughly to distribute the color and scent, set aside overnight, then layer the two colors in a jar.
To use, add two or three tablespoons to warm bath water.
