In a bowl, combine 200g powdered sugar and 15ml extract. Mix until well combined. You can add 2ml of water if needed to help the mixture resemble kinetic sand.

Using a mold (I used a bath bomb mould), press the mixture until it's hard, compact and can hold its shape. Repeat until you use up all the mixture.
