Add vapor rub – we use a homemade vapor rub but you can use store-bought.

Add water a bit at a time, mixing as you go. You will know it is ready when you can form a ball shape in your hands. If it is too crumbly, it needs more water.

Press mixture into an ice cube tray, soap or candy mold.

Place in freezer for at least 2-3 hours. Overnight is even better. Use one shower melt when feeling stuffy. It really works!
