Victorian Milk Bath Mix

You can find the most beautiful decorator canisters and bottles for nearly nothing. Why not mix up a very special, personal, treat for someone for the holidays, a birthday, or just to give for no reason at all.
Some of the oils or fragrances that will me listed may be purchased at Health Food Stores or Craft Stores. If you can not find what you are looking for, search on line. There are a great many sites that sell in small volume at reasonable prices.
Why not make some for yourself?

2 cups powdered milk
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup dried lavender flowers
1/2 to 1 teaspoon plumeria or other floral soap fragrance

Place milk and oats in food processor or blender. Continue processing until mixture is fine.
Place mixture in bowl and stir in lavender flowers and fragrance.
Pour into 1 pint bottle.

Apply tag and decorate with a ribbon.

This works best if you place a cup full in clean stocking. ( save the foot of one you are tossing or use the end of a knee high nylon.) Tie a knot and toss into tub while water is running. Squeeze stocking a few times to release all the oats' skin-softening features.
Enjoy!
