Mint Milk Bath Recipe

Cleopatra

Don’t you just want to be in Cleopatra’s shoes or rather in her bath tub, and bathe in her legendary milk wash?

Apparently Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of  Ancient Egypt had soft, silky and clear skin because of her daily milk bath ritual.

You would think that the milk came from some palace pampered bovine. Actually it came from 700 lactating donkeys.

As much as we would like to emulate the beautiful Cleopatra’s bathing regimen to the letter, it would be rather stressful to go looking for donkeys’ milk.

So let us improvise and make use of what is readily available – Cow’s milk.
Below is our recipe:

Mint Milk Bath Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup cornstarch
2 cups dried milk powder
3 tbsp crushed, bruised mint leaves
1 cup sea salt

Put the cornstarch, dried milk powder, mint leaves and sea salt in a large enough lidded jar.

Give it a long thorough mix to blend all the ingredients.

Now, just add a cup of this mixture to your running bath water. The rest can be kept in the jar for your next bathing time.

Now put on some music in the background, lie comfortably in your bath water and let all the stress from your daily grind to seep away, leaving you luscious soft skin. Let your inner Cleopatra reign!
