Add a tablespoon of glycerin (for softer skin) and five to ten drops of food coloring. Mix well, so the color is distributed evenly. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil if you like as well. Put in a decorative glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Instruct the recipient to use three to five tablespoons per bath.
Another great bath treat is a milk bath. This mixture can be as simple as two cups of powdered milk and two or three drops of your favorite essential oil mixed together. You could also add ¼ cup of oatmeal to soothe rough skin, a handful of your favorite dried herbs, ½ cup of Epsom salt and/or baking soda, even a splash of olive oil.
Use a cup or so in each bath and remind the recipient to use a drain basket to catch any solid parts that you included in your recipe. "
