| Rose Petal Lip Balm
1 cup full of rose petals or more
1 cup of almond oil
1 Tbs of beeswax
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of honey
1 tsp of Vitamin E oil (cut open capsules)
1)Fill a sterilised glass jar with petals and pour over the oil. Fill to within an inch of the top. Close and leave in the sun for a minimum of 5 days (I left mine about 20) and strain off oil when warm in the sun. Press to extract all the oil. You can keep this until you are ready to make the balm.
2) Warm the oil in a bowl or glass jug stood in a pan of water. Warm until water just begins to bubble and then turn down. At 1 tablespoon of beeswax, the honey, vanilla and vitamin E oil. Stir until dissolved. Put into little jars and close tightly when cool.
Put on lips when going out in cold weather or if they get crack or dry.
