How to Make Green Tea Bath Bombs
Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients
- Add 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/8 cup arrowroot powder, 1/4 cup citric acid, and 1/8 cup Epsom salt to a large glass mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients to blend and remove any clumps.
- Then add 1 tablespoon of green matcha powder, watching the color come alive.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredient
- Slowly pour 3 teaspoons of sweet almond oil into the dry mixture, whisking as you go. If the mixture begins to fizz or foam, slow down.
Step 3: Test Consistency
- After adding the oil, scoop a small amount of the bath bomb mixture into your hand and squeeze it together to test the consistency.
- It should stick together and hold its shape.
- If the mixture is too dry and powdery, add ½ teaspoon of witch hazel. You can use any witch hazel, but I liked the combination of cucumber witch hazel with green tea. Mix well and test again. Repeat until you have the correct consistency.
Step 4: Add Green Tea and Form Bath Bombs
- Once the bath bomb mixture is ready, place a pinch of loose-leaf green tea into the base of one-half of a stainless steel bath bomb mold.
- Then scoop it and the other half of the bath bomb mold into the mixture until it’s just overflowing.
- Press together and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes. (I recommend using multiple bath bomb molds so you can keep going while the others are setting.)
- Once set, gently release the bath bomb onto a cutting board or cookie sheet. If it cracks while being removed, scoop it up with a little more mixture and press together again.
Allow bath bombs to dry uncovered for 8 hours or overnight. Once dry, store in a dry place or container until use.
