750 grams of baking soda

250 grams of citric acid

5-8 grams of menthol crystals (depending on desired potency)

Enough ISO to dissolve the menthol. Keep in mind it takes several minutes to dissolve depending on the size of your crystals. Use a metal spoon, stir when melting them down.

Be very careful when using menthol. If you get some directly on your skin it may burn. At full concentration it is powerful

2 grams of essential oils if using

Use a small solid pvc type mold as silicone molds can be tricky to with. An ice cube mold works great. See our guest size lotus mold here.

INSTRUCTIONS

ONE: In a large bowl, combine the baking soda and citric acid. Break down all the lumps until the mixture resembles a powder. Use a metal strainer for faster results. Citric acid has a tendency to take off nail polish, so wear gloves to protect your manicure and a face mask to avoid breathing in the powders.

Add the dissolved menthol crystals to your dry mix and mix with your gloved hand, making sure to scrap the sides of your bowl into the mixture. After several minutes of mixing, the mixture should resemble wet sand. If the mixture is not wet enough, add more alcohol, a little at t time. Not too wet but enough for it to stick together. Push into your mold. Make sure to push as hard as you can to ensure the steamer sticks together. Leave overnight and remove to further dry for 1 day. If your area has very high humidity, this may affect the drying time.
