Serves: 60 ounces
Ingredients
- 4½ Cups Granulated White Sugar
- ⅓ Cup Matcha Green Tea Powder
- 6 Green Tea Tea Bags
- 4 Cups Coconut Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Extract

- Start by adding the sugar, Matcha Green Tea Powder and the green tea leaves from the tea bags to a large mixing bowl.
- Simply cut the tea bags open and pour the leaves into the bowl.
- Whisk or stir the dry ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
- Soften the coconut oil in the microwave for about 15 seconds until it is soft enough to pour into the bowl of dry ingredients.
- Add the coconut extract, then mix until it is thoroughly incorporated.
- Transfer into air-tight container.
Notes
Apply a handful of the Matcha Green Tea Sugar Scrub to your arms and legs and gently massage. I don't use this on my face. I think it is better suited for the body only. While I have dry skin and benefit from the oil in this body scrub, I prefer to use it before I soap up. I use my normal body wash applied with a body scrub sponge to remove the scrub and excess coconut oil.
Use caution with glass jars in the shower. I chose glass jars because they looked pretty as party favors. An air-tight plastic container might be a safer alternative. The coconut oil in this body scrub can make the floor of your shower or tub slippery so please use caution.
