Flaky Salt

Ingredients

Salt: OP likes to use kosher salt for this process, though they've also tested it with sea salt and pink rock salt with equally great results.

Water: it’s best to use distilled (or at least filtered) water. If you use tap water, then you can get a powdery calcium build-up over the salt flakes.

Step 1: Dissolve the salt

First, combine the salt and water in a large pot and heat over medium-low heat.

Bring the mixture to a soft boil, often stirring until all the salt dissolves and the water is clear again.
