Finally, a new recipe to enjoy for Flavor of the Month! Apologies for the delayed post everyone. This month we have been consuming a lot of coffee and thought we could share some of our secrets with you all. Instead of a recipe to eat, this is a recipe is for a do-it-yourself body scrub to use in the shower. This scrub is absolutely delicious and leaves your skin soft, conditioned and moisturized. It can be used on your face or all over your body. Don't worry if you get some in your mouth too- its sweet and is ok if swallowed in small amounts. The sugar and coffee give it a rough gritty texture that feels great.
INGREDIENTS ALSO
Coffee Grounds A Re-purposed glass jar
Brown Sugar
White Sugar
Olive Oil
Vitamin E Oil
Tea Tree Oil
Mix together about two parts coffee grounds, one part brown sugar, and one part white sugar in a big bowl. You only need as much as will fill your jar, in fact you probably will be able to use the left over grounds from one pot of coffee. Add to this a fairly liberal amount of olive oil, maybe about a third as much Vitamin E Oil, and about 5-10 drops of Tea Tree oil. If you don't have Vitamin E Oil handy, don't worry Olive Oil by itself is also fine. I like the consistency to be moist but gritty- your own preference is what matters though. If your skin tends to be dry, add more oil. If your skin tends to be oily, increase how much coffee and sugar you use. Enjoy!
