Live Balm
by Barry
Carter
Created:
This
morning (
The entire
melting and mixing process took about an hour. At this point, I poured the
liquid into a couple two cup glass jars and the remainder into a half cup glass
jar. The last jar was only about 2/3 filled.
To avoid
breaking any glass, I heated the glass jars by sticking them in a pan with some
water on my wood stove.
Throughout
this process, I got lots of live oil on my hands when I wiped it off the fork
and knife I used to stir the mix as it was liquefying. By the time I was done I
had the strongest "whirlies" I have had in
a long time. Consequently, it has been a bit difficult to write this.
Though the
end product is about the consistency of a lip balm, I would not recommend that
if airport security asks you what it is that you answer "it's a
balm".
