Homemade Tallow Candles

Materials

  • Pure rendered tallow
  • pure, virgin coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, completely melt tallow and coconut oil over medium heat
  • Add herbs or other flavors to infuse (see notes on scents above)
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. If infusing, allow enough time for the oil to take on the scent
  • Strain out the infusing ingredients (give it a sniff to see if the scent is strong enough)
  • Pour into heat-safe, candle container
  • Allow to cool again slightly before adding wick - remember to use multiple wicks if making a larger candle
  • Allow the candle to cool completely to room temperature before trimming the wick and placing the lid on top
