Spoon Butter

Ingredients

1 part bees wax to 3 parts coconut oil (or oil of choice)

Directions:

Place a mason jar inside a saucepan on the stove. Fill with water until it reaches halfway up the jar. Turn stove to a medium-low heat. Add beeswax and coconut oil to your jar (1 part beeswax, 3 parts coconut oil) and allow to melt. Once melted, give oil a good stir to help emulsify it and carefully remove the jar from water bath to allow to cool. Seal with a lid.
Optional: Once the mixture has cooled, add a few drops oflemon essential oil . Lemon EO has antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial properties and will add a nice, clean scent!

To use, scoop out a small amount of the butter and slather it into wooden spoons, cutting boards, etc and allow oil to absorb overnight. Any residual oil can be wiped off the next day. Reapply every month or so, or when they start to look dry.

BONUS: Your hands will feel extra soft afterwards!

I only made a small batch for my first attempt but am going to be needing more soon! Next time I think I will make a bigger batch and put it into small jars and give them as gifts along with a nice wooden spoon. I would love to get such a fun and unexpected gift! :-)
