Wooden Spoon Butter Recipe
This easy two-ingredient wood butter uses everyday coconut oil and beeswax pastilles. The combination nourishes your favorite wooden spoons and cutting boards to help them withstand their busy lives in the kitchen, and also makes a great gift!
Ingredients
- 4 Tbs beeswax pastilles, approximately 2 ounces
- ¾ cup coconut oil, approximately 6 oz
- 10-15 drops orange or grapefruit essential oils
Instructions
- In a double boiler, combine beeswax and coconut oil and warm over medium heat until liquid.
- Remove from the heat and stir in essential oils.
- Pour into preferred containers and allow the mixture to harden completely.
Notes
If using 2 ounce tins, this mixture will make about 3 and a half containers.
For making a double boiler, I recommend using a metal bowl that can withstand some heat. In the photos, I used a wax melting pitcher I bought specifically for this purpose, but you do not have to do that!
