We are making a few
Irish Coffees to hand out on St. Patrick's Day...
Irish Coffee Body Scrub!
Take one cup of ground coffee
+
3 Tablespoons Light Olive Oil
(we used light Olive Oil because it has less scent)
+
a few drops of Mint Extract
and mix it all together.
In a separate bowl mix
1/2 cup sugar
+
1 Tablespoon Light Olive Oil
with a few drops of Vanilla Extract
(not too many since it will darken the color of the sugar)
Pack the Coffee Mixture into a little over 3/4 of the Irish Coffee Mug
(we got ours at Dollar Tree)
then top with the Sugar "Whipped Cream" Mixture
and tie with a shamrock.
Cheers!
(Oh if I only had my parent's vintage Buena Vista Irish Coffee Glasses!)

Very cute. And dare I give you a tip? (Who knew that could even happen?!) They do make clear/white vanilla. I use it in baking for the same reason--you don't want the color change that comes from traditional vanilla.
ReplyDeleteNot a coffee drinker, but that looks wonderful!

ReplyDeleteCute idea! And I love the smell of coffee so I bet this scrub would be perfect for me, too.

I have to admit when I saw the title I was thinking, ewww. I seriously dislike the taste of coffee, blech! But as I read further and saw it as a body scrub, now THAT I like. Yes, I'm odd. Can't stand the taste but love the smell. Perfect party favor! Love it!!!
