DIY Gift: Vanilla Chai Body Scrub

I thought as well as some gift guides this year I'd also post a couple of DIY gift ideas. First up, a very quick, easy and thrifty (less than £5 for everything) body scrub. For a more seasonal scrub I thought a warming, spicy chai scent would be nice and I promise you this smells incredible. Even if you think you don't like the smell of cardamom, please don't leave them out as they are essential to an authentic chai scent. That said, you can play around with the chai mix as much as you like, maybe add some warming ginger, and if you're feeling really lazy just swap the spices for a few ground up chai teabags! You can also swap the oils for olive oil, but I find these two leave my skin the softest and have the nicest scent too. 

You will need (for 1 half litre jar): 

3 cardamom pods 

3 cloves 

2 tbsp cinnamon 

1 tsp nutmeg 

1 tbsp vanilla extract or the seeds of a vanilla pod 

2 cups brown sugar 

2-4 tbsp coconut oil 

2tbsp sweet almond oil 

A jar (0.5L approx)
