How to make green tea, honey and aloe salt scrub

ok so i am being cheap for christmas gifts this year and making all my own gifts for my friends and family. if i do not make it then it was free from somewhere like a free magazine subscription that i found. so i like salt and sugar scrubs and they are expensive. yeah yeah you know the shpeal. here is the recipe... 2 cups salt (i used what i had on hand and that was regular table salt cause i realized i had like 4 of them in the cabinet) 1 cup oil (again used what i had on hand just plain ole veg oil, i did not want to feed it to my family because of all the GMO outrage and bla bla bla, you can use coconut oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, whateva) 3/4 cup freshly scooped aloe vera (yes straight from the plant and it is sticky and slimey and gooey and it was way too much fun and my kids were mad i would not let them help) 2 tablespoons of honey (the better the honey the better health benefits will help heal cuts bruises and all that. i had some on hand that my kids help remove from the hive) 2 tablespoons of loose leaf green tea, the bigger the leaves the better it looks. ok so for the aloe plant break off a leaf at the bottom split it open with a knife and just scoop out all the slimey pulpy goodness into a measuring cup until you get 3/4 cup. throw out the green skin. seriously just that easy add all the ingredients to a big bowl and get in there with your hands and squish it all together it will end up kind of like wet beach sand. then just stick it in a jar and call it a day. you can pretty up the jars and give them as gifts. now i think this would be super duper for feet. word of caution dont use it while standing up in the shower. you will fall on your butt and it will hurt. you know that addage water and oil dont mix yeah so slippery slippery. i tried to upload pics but for some reason it is not letting me so i will try again later. P.S. yes i know there are spelling errors, i am sure there grammar errors, i dont mind i am sorry if you do. i hate editing it requires too much left brain stuff and i just dont use mine often. so dont hate. :-)
