Jackie Chiles: You put the balm on? Who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you to put the balm on. Why'd you put the balm on?

This is the part two to Vital Essence of Coffee Oil Ibble

Stuff

IMG_1914.JPG
2 1/2 Tlbs Essence of Coffee oil
0.3 oz Bees Wax
1 Tlbs Coconut Oil
10 drops Tea Tree Oil
5 drops Vitamin E

Plastic cup
Spoon for stirring
Ice Cold Spoon for testing
Double boiler
Tubes or pots or something for the finished product

Don't use the u-bet coffee syrup it is water based and we all know oil and water don't mix.

You can also substitute vegetable shorting for the bees wax to make it vegan but don't do that.

5.  Replace on double boiler to re-melt if the oil was too cold and it started to harden.  Test on back of the spoon that was in the freezer.  For a harder balm add more was softer more oil this is the point to tweak it.  The spoon will harden the wax instantly so you check.  


Note:  Oil and wax are essentially the same its just the melting point that separates what we call them.

7.  Label

If you go to the Caryola factory they show you how they make crayons and invite everyone down front and give them a freshly made crayon and then tell them how the Amish farmers wives would wrap the labels on the crayons.  Then they would give you a label and and a dab of glue and finish the story about the bees wax and the Amish wives only working durn the winter because they were working on the farm durning the summer.  After the story he would then check your work and and find out who got the Crayola name on the outside and not covered by the overlap.  Most of the people have got it wrong and a few get job offers but turn him down when when they find out that the farmers only got 10 cents per box of crayons.  

I told you that story to say be carful about putting on the labels its harder than it looks.  Unless you don't mind them not matching.

No rats were harmed in making this lip balm.  The rat tends to bite so nobody wanted to try and put some on his lips.
