What you need Recipe compliments of Glenbrook Farms

Pink Tiles
1 cup salt
1 cup flour
1/2 -3/4 teaspoon of rosemary essential oil
2 drops of red food coloring
1/2 oz Rosemary leaf whole
1 cup to 1 1/3 cup of very hot water
Small square container (like tupperware)
Oval measuring spoons

Pale Green Tiles (not pictured)
1 cup salt
1 cup flour
1/2 -3/4 teaspoon of lavendar essential oil
2 drops of blue food coloring
1 drop of yellow food coloring
1 oz Rosebud petals
1 cup to 1 1/3 cup of very hot water
Small square container (like tupperware)
Oval measuring spoons

Oils, Rosebuds & Rosemary leaves can be ordered from Glenbrook Farms

What to do
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl into a stiff dough.

2. Sprinkle flour in the bottom of the small square container.

3. Press a portion of the dough into the bottom of the container until it's about
1/4" -1/2" think. Be sure to press all of the edges & the corners to get the best shape.

4. In 1 fast motion, turn the container upside down on to a piece of parchment or wax paper. Fix any corners or edges to maintain the square shape.

* Note
You can also roll out the dough and cut with cookie cutters.

5. Use the oval measuring spoons for the top decorations. Try the 1/4 teaspoon and the 1/2 teaspoon. Sprinkle the spoon with floor before making each decoration. Fill the spoon with the dough firmly packed. Tap the spoon upside down to get the piece to release. Lightly wet the flat edge before placing it on the square. The water will glue it into place.

6. Allow the potpourri tile to air dry on the top 1st. This will take about 24 hours. Carefully turn over the tile, and allow the bottom to air dry. You might get a crack or two on the bottom.

7. Roll the remaining dough into small balls. Put them in a bowl after they are dry.

Enjoy the scent.
