Xanthum Gum 500ml

BATH SALT HEARTS Requirements: 2 cups coarse salt (Soap Barn) 50ml Guar Gum (Soap Barn) 100ml hot water (from the kettle) Fragrance (Soap Barn) Pink powder colouring (Soap Barn) Heart mould (Soap Barn) Method: Prepare by cutting the heart cavities out of your mould with a 1cm border around the edges. Mix the coarse salt and the guar gum together in a bowl. Add your colour, and your fragrance. When those are mixed through add 100ml hot (not boiling) water from your kettle and mix through well, till you have a wet, sticky mixture. Fill each side of the heart mould with the mixture, piling it high on top - in other words overfill each side substantially. Then place the two sides of the heart together and compress. Remove the mould from the heart and place the heart on a tray to set. It will require two days to set really hard. The most important thing to get right when you make bath salt hearts is overfilling the moulds. Bath Salt Hearts are used the same way as normal bath salts. Throw a heart into the bath and relax in the hot water while the salts soothe your aching muscles.
