I made this recipe after being stuck at home that past few months with my husband and my daughter! We are all making our own coffee every day!

With three of us in the house right now, our coffee grinder is working overtime. I was ending up with mounds and mounds of leftover coffee grounds. 

While I did start putting some of my coffee grounds into my compost bin, I wanted to find another way to use them up. I hate seeing things go to waste. 

Repurposing food is one thing that I do all the time!

Ingredients

• Leftover coffee grounds: This recipe uses 1 cup of grounds. I used the little leftover pucks from our espresso machine. 
• Sugar: You will use granulated sugar for this recipe. You can use traditional white sugar, brown sugar, which is a bit more caramelly, or turbinado sugar, which has a coarser texture. 
• Coconut oil: Add a few tablespoons of coconut oil. You can also use almond oil or vitamin E oil. I love the smell of coconut oil, and I cook with it a lot, so I usually have it in my pantry. 
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds a lovely sweet smell to this scrub. 
• Cinnamon: The cinnamon also adds a delicious smell to this recipe.
