A refreshing essence
Published 1:00 pm Sunday, August 26, 2018
What you will need:
• Mason jar, washed and dried • Lime
• Orange • Lemon
• Mint, stems and leaves • Rosemary sprigs
• Lamp wick • Wooden skewer
• Hammer • Duct tape
• Screwdrivers (one flathead, one Phillips)
• Essential oils in your preferred scents
-
- Cut the mint stems and rosemary sprigs from your plants. Thinly slice the orange, lemon and lime. Place the supplies in the jar, filling the base but leaving plenty of space in the neck of the jar.
-
- Use a wooden skewer to position the supplies within the jar. If you want to make sure your rosemary and mint are visible, position them close to the jar walls. Check the jar frequently and replace materials as desired.
-
- Add essential oil. Mix clary sage, ylang ylang and bergamot. Use your own judgement on the number of drops; you can always add more later.
-
- Fill remainder of jar with olive oil. Use a light olive oil to avoid adding unwanted scent to your candle.
-
- Using a screwdriver and hammer, punch a slit into the top of your jar. Use a Phillips screwdriver to punch 2 holes close together and the flathead to connect the 2.
-
- Use duct tape to flatten the tip of the wick. Thread it through the hole and remove the duct tape.
