Camomile-Mint Bath Salts

Lennie's Note:

I got this recipe from the Bernardin canning company at an exhibit last year. This makes a great gift! For a soothing treat, use 1/2 a jar in your bath water.

I made this for two gift baskets I made recently. It smelled wonderful !!! Also came out really pretty in the glass bottles I bought. I have found myself a new hobby. Thanks !

Made this in my bath baskets, for Christmas and everyone raved about how wonderful it was. Easy to make, nd easy to find ingredients. Thanks for sharing!

This was very easy and delightful. I did try to follow the advice of LonghornMama and used a tea ball, but the tea flowers still escaped. I then proceded to strain the water which took awhile and was not 100%. Nevertheless, the water was wonderful and soothing.
