Completely organic body butter, is actually insanely simple to make.
Three Ingredients:
1 Cup Water
3 TBS Chamomile (Fresh or Dried )
1 Cup Coconut Oil (Unrefined, Cold Pressed, Organic)
Step 1 : Bring to a boil chamomile (about 3 TBS), with about 1 Cup water.
It doesn't have to be exact. The idea is to boil the chamomile to rapidly infuse it with the water. Then sift it using a few paper towels or cheese cloth.
You're not eating it, so use what you can to strain. It MUST be a fine strainer.
Hold onto the brown/yellow water.
You'll need about 3 TBS of the newly infused water. Then add you infused water to your coconut oil. Simmer gently until the oil is melted.
Mix well. Freeze for 10 minutes.
(Some people skip this step and just blend. However, I like the chamomile to be completely infused with the oil. Flavored, so to speak.)
During the freezing process, prepare your jar. I went with a simple DIY beaded jar. Once your butter is back to it's 'cold pressed' state; whip it, mash or simply spoon it in the jar. This part is all about consistency preference. I prefer it thick.
And it's amazing on the legs and feet!
Enjoy!
