Prep Time5 minutes
Active Time7 minutes

Materials

  • 1/2 cup tallow
  • 2 tbsp oil avocado, olive, jojoba - your favorite
  • 15 drops essential oil optional! Don't use for babies

Instructions

  • Add a half cup of tallow and two tablespoons of oil of your choosing to a saucepan on the stove top. Heat on low heat until the fat is melted.
  • Let it cool until you can touch it comfortably. If you want to add essential oils, this is when you should add them in and stir.
  • Let it further cool until it is solidified. At this point, you can add to a container if you don't care about the whipped consistency. Otherwise, either add to a stand mixer with the whipping attachment, you use a hand mixer to whip! Just like you would whipped cream.
  • Add to a container or your choice! It can be pretty or just plain tuber ware.

Notes

*if making this for a baby/toddler I would leave out the essential oils
*the oils melt fast so don't walk away while you are heating it
