Ingredients
- 1/2 cup grass-fed beef tallow (about 4 ounces)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 27 drops of a good quality essential oils (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)
Instructions
- Add the beef tallow and olive oil to a double boiler. Warm gently over low heat until everything is fully melted and combined. Stir occasionally and avoid overheating the mixture. You only need enough heat to melt the tallow.
- Remove the melted mixture from the heat. If you are using vitamin E oil or essential oils, let the mixture cool slightly before adding them. Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and let it cool until it begins to thicken. It should look soft and semi-solid, not fully hardened.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the balm for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Whip until it becomes light, airy, and creamy. The finished texture should look similar to whipped butter.
- Spoon the whipped tallow balm into a clean glass jar. Add the lid and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
