CITRUS GROVE WAX MELTS
MAKES APPROXIMATELY 16 WAX MELTS
A wax melt is like a candle without the wick, designed to be used with an oil burner. You can control the strength of the aroma by adding or removing melts to your burner.
100g soy wax flakes
1g candle dye, colour of your choice
3ml bergamot essential oil
2ml lemon essential oil
5ml mandarin essential oil
Silicon candle moulds (an ice-cube tray works too)
Metal jug or heatproof bowl
Saucepan
Digital thermometer
Glass beaker
Pipette (optional)
Wooden spoon or spatula
Oil burner
1 Place the metal pouring jug on your scale and tare the weight. Weigh out your wax and melt using the doubleboiler method – place the jug into a saucepan half-filled with water and heat until simmering. Stir until all the wax is melted. Once the wax is completely melted, remove the jug or bowl from the heat and rest it on a heatproof surface. Check the temperature and let it cool to 65 °C.
