- 1 cup Epsom salt
- 1–2 drops blue food coloring
Instructions
1. 1. Heat about 1 cup of water in a saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling.

3. 3. Add 1-2 drops of blue food coloring if desired.
4. 4. Pour the solution into clear cup or containers.
5. 5. Let the cup sit undisturbed at room temperature for several hours or overnight. For faster results, place them in the freezer for 30-60 minutes.
6. 6. Carefully remove the crystals from the cup and arrange them on a baking dish or tray to form an ice castle shape.

Experiment with different colors of food coloring to create themed ice castles.
Use a variety of salts or sugars to see how they affect the crystal formation and shape.
