Keeping It Simple – Home Made Peppermint Lip Scrub

A quick and easy homemade Christmas gift/stocking filler.

A lip scrub that’s good enough to eat! (It’s quite difficult not to!)

It’s easy enough to split the mix and make two versions - Peppermint and Chocolate Mint.

Ingredients
¼ cup of coconut oil
1/3 cup of caster sugar
½ teaspoon of cocoa powder
1 -2 tsp of dried mint
1-2 tsp peppermint essential oil (optional)

Tools
Red & white twine / ribbon
Scissors
Bowl
Spoon
Small jars or pots (pre sterilized)

Method
Grind the mint in a pestle and mortar. You want to eliminate any larger particles but not make it too powdery.

Stir the mint into the sugar and blend together.

Gently soften the coconut oil in a baine marie. (You don’t want it to be fully liquid or too hot as the sugar will dissolve) Add a drop or two of peppermint oil into the coconut oil if using and mix together.

Combine the coconut oil with the sugar and mint.

Take half of the mix and spoon into pre sterilized pots
Add ½ a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the remaining mixture and stir well. The mixture is likely to have solidified a little so you may need to press it into the side of the bowl with the back of a spoon to combine the ingredients.

Spoon the remaining mix into pots.

Label your pots and finish off with a bow 🎀

Orange & Rosemary Cake With Mixed Berries

An orange & rosemary cake topped with beautiful berries. A perfect bake for a Christmas centrepiece.

Fragrant, zesty & aromatic flavours that are festive but lighter than some of the more traditional Christmas desserts.

Decorated with an orange cream cheese frosting and berries that add a perfect colour pop as well as complimenting the orange & rosemary.

If you’d like the recipe, drop me a message or comment below.

Are you feeling festive yet?

The weather outside is definitely frightful here in Wales at the moment but I’m daydreaming about my Christmas fireplace looking all festive and cosy in a few weeks time.

Why not come along to my next workshops and have a go at making your own garland or set of decorations to decorate your home with.
