Shower Tablets

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients, and mix well with a wire whisk.
- Add 1 tbsp water while mixing, then add the second tbsp of water (the mixture will fizz a bit with the addition of water).
- When mixing, the mixture should resemble pastry dough. You should be able to squeeze it into a ball in your hand - use a spray bottle and slowly add more water as needed, to achieve the proper consistency. You'll want to make sure the tablets are firm so they do not crumble when you take them out of the molds.
- If you are adding dried botanicals - now is the time to mix them in. If you are adding colour (mica), separate the batch into however many colours you'd like, then add 1/2 tsp of mica per 1/2 cup of mixture.
- Pack the mixture tightly into a soap mold/silicone mold, and set aside to air dry for a few hours.
Before use...
- Just before you use a tablet in the shower, add 15 drops of an essential oil onto the tablet, then place the tablet next to the water stream (though, not directly under the water stream, as this will dissolve the tablet quickly).
