YIELDS: 1 foot bath

⁄ cup witch hazel

⁄ cup fresh-squeezed lime juice

⁄ cup fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice

1 lime, sliced into rings

1 quart sparkling mineral water

⁄ cup fresh mint leaves

⁄ cup Epsom salts

⁄ cup fine-grained sea salt

⁄ cup coconut cream (full-fat coconut milk)

What you will need: washtub, cutting board, wooden spoon,

measuring cups, mixing bowl, fork Note: If you don’t have a washtub, you

can use a soup pot, shallow bowl, or plastic storage tub. As long as you

can soak your feet inside without spilling, it should work!

1. To Make: Start with room temperature rather than refrigerated ingredients.

Put the witch hazel, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and lime rings into the

washtub. Muddle the mint leaves by crushing them with the back of a

wooden spoon, coarsely chop them, put into the washtub, and give it a mix.

In the mixing bowl, place the salts and coconut cream. Stir to blend to a

uniform consistency. Bring the washtub and the bowl of scrub to the place

where you will have your foot spa. Set up your foot spa area with anything

you will want for a super comfy-cozy relaxing experience. Light a candle,

gather a magazine or maybe an eye pillow, and enjoy a cup of tea. Play

some relaxing music. Since the foot bath will not be warm, you may want a

blanket, heating pad, and some pillows so you’re sitting as comfortably as

possible. Gather a towel to dry off after the foot bath. And you’re ready to

get started!

2. To Store: This recipe should be made fresh before each use.

3. To Use: Pour the mineral water into the washtub and stir. Settle in and soak

your feet for 10–20 minutes. When you’re ready, use the coconut cream and

salt mix to scrub the built up dead skin and softened callouses off your toes

and feet. Dry off with a towel. Rinse off your feet in the tub or shower if

desired. Note: Get the most out of this foot spa treatment by trimming your

toenails right before putting your feet to soak in the Fizzy Mojito Foot Spa.

After the soak and scrub, use the tip of a nail file to scrape the softened

buildup from under your nails.
