50 g fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
50 g fresh eucalyptus leaves, finely chopped
50 g fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
peel of 2 lemons
300 ml olive oil
400 g sea salt (fine-grained)
4 tsp vitamin C powder
extra eucalyptus leaves and slices of lemon peel, to decorate
1 Place the chopped herbs, black pepper and lemon peel in a pan, then add the olive oil. Place on a medium heat and stir, then leave for 2 minutes. Place the paste in a piece of muslin over a sieve and squeeze out all the oil into a bowl below.
2 Mix the sea salt and vitamin C powder in a bowl. Add most of the oil (reserving a little to seal the jar) and stir well. Place the mixture in a sterilized Kilner jar and press down well. Decorate the top with a few eucalyptus leaves and slices of lemon rind. Pour a layer of the remaining oil on top of the salt scrub to keep it airtight.
USE Apply to wet skin in the bath or shower, when needed. Scrub, then rinse off well with warm water.
STORAGE Keeps for 6 months, or 1 year in the refrigerator.
