Heat water to 60-80*C and add Epsomite, stirring to dissolve. Add the epsomite until it no longer dissolves. Initially, the solution is cloudy and should be allowed to settle.
Meanwhile, the solution cools and the clear component should be separated from what is left at the bottom of the container.

A little powder attached to any carrier can be used as "seeds".
