Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Measuring spoon
- Small glass canning jar (4 or 8 oz)
- Canning jar lifter or oven mitt
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Beeswax
- 3 tbsp Coconut oil
Instructions
- Into the small jar measure the coconut oil and beeswax.
- Set the jar in the saucepan and fill with the saucepan with water, about halfway up the jar.
- On the stove, bring the water in the saucepan to a simmer.
- Allow to simmer on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the coconut oil and beeswax in the jar have completely melted.
- Turn off the heat and carefully remove the saucepan from the burner. Allow to sit for a few minutes so the water can cool down.
- Wearing an oven mitt or using a canning jar grip, very carefully remove the jar from the saucepan and set on the counter.
- Allow to sit at room temperature until completely solid, at least one hour but maybe longer, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
- To use, wipe onto wooden kitchen utensils, allow to sit overnight, and wipe any excess off in the morning. Use as needed and store covered in a cool place.
Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled, just maintain a 3 to 1 ratio of beeswax to coconut oil.
