Last year, while I worked at a spa – I tried this amazing body scrub by Red Flower’s Hammam line called the”Lemon coffee blossom olive stone scrub.” I LOVED how energizing the coffee in the scrub was & how it made my skin SO soft. With only a little of the Red Flower scrub left in the jar – I decided to play mad scientist & recreate it with none other than the Magic Bullet.

The ingredients listed on the jar include coffee, crushed almond, sugar, lemon rind, orange peel, black olive, fresh lemon juice and Neroli oil. Most of these are basic kitchen essentials – the only ingredient I had to track down was the essential oil Neroli. I found a small jar at Whole Foods -(but I think there are less expensive options out there).

Complete Shopping List
1 Small can of organic olives
2. One Orange
3. Two Lemons
4. Coffee grinds (preferably dark)
5. Handful of organic almonds
6. Organic Sugar
7. Neroli Essential Oil (from a health food store)

Directions
Step One: Once you have all of your ingredients, peel one orange and one lemon and process the rind as fine as you can.
Step Two: Squeeze both lemons and set aside the juice.
Step Three: Combine 3Tbsp ground coffee, 3Tbsp crushed almonds, and 4Tbsp sugar into your magic bullet (or other food processor).
Step Four: Add 3 chopped olives, 1Tbsp lemon rind, 1Tbsp orange rind, 2 Tbsp Lemon juice, and 2 Tsp Neroli oil and blend blend blend! (I had to stir the mixture a few times & continue to blend to get the right consistency).
Feel free to tweak the recipe as you find fit! It may need a little extra Neroli/lemon juice for zest. Below you can see my final result on the left next to Red Flower’s authentic scrub on the right. I would say they look pretty close!

Use
This body scrub is great for use in the bath/shower. Leaves your skin feeling soft & rejuvenated. Small batches are recommended – if you make more than you can use, give some to a friend :)
