DIY Peppermint Mocha Candle
Inspired From:
You Will Need...
- 8 oz candle holder
- tape
- cooking pot
- wooden skewer
- 2 cups soy wax shavings
- candle wick
- 30 drops peppermint essential oil
- 30 drops vanilla essential oil
- 2 tsp organic cocoa powder
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Begin by heating a pot of water on the stove top on medium/low. It’s crucial the water doesn’t begin to boil, and lead to water leaking into your candle holder.
Step 2
Once the wax has melted, add in the essential oils and coco powder. With a small wooden skewer (or something you can throw away once finished stirring) stir all the ingredients into the wax. Let the aromas of the oil and coco set for five minutes.
Step 3
After a few hours the wax will have hardened completely. Remove the tape and trim the wick 1/2 inch from the wax.
