Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
1/4 cup water
10 to 20 drops essential oil (lavender, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, etc.)
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for extra consistency)
Food coloring (optional, for aesthetics only)
Small mold (can be silicone, bucket or bottle caps)
Step-by-step procedure
Mix the dry
ingredients In a bowl, place the cup of baking soda and, if using, the cornstarch. Mix well to integrate the powders.
Add the essential
oil Add the drops of essential oil of your choice. Stir to distribute the aroma evenly.
Add water a little at a time
Using a spoon, slowly add the water while mixing. The idea is to achieve a compact dough, similar to plasticine. If you overdo it with the water, you can correct with a little more baking soda.
Add color (optional)
If you want your balls to be decorative, you can add a few drops of food coloring.
Form the balls
Take small portions of the mixture and form balls with your hands, or place the mixture in small molds (ice cube trays, caps, etc.). Press well so that they are compact.
Let dry completely
Leave the balls or molds in a dry place for at least 24 to 48 hours, until they are completely hard. The drier the environment, the faster they harden.
