The past couple of days have focused on food recipes but those are not the only recipes on the blog.

You may have seen a recent episode of ‘Gardening Australia’ which featured a recipe for making an exfoliating hand scrub/balm with lemon and rosemary.  I have lemons growing and access to a source of rosemary from a friend so it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Here are the details in case you missed them.

Lemon and Rosemary Hand Scrub

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Rind of 1 lemon
Sprigs of rosemary

The ingredients and utensils assembled.

Finely chop the rosemary and lemon zest.

Add the chopped ingredients to the sugar and combine.

Add lemon juice and oil.  Mix thoroughly.

Transfer to a sealed container and store in the refrigerator.

This could make a great gift for a keen gardener.
