How to Render Beeswax
– Cover your counters and floors around where you will be working to ensure a quick and easy clean up in case of any wax spill.
– Create a double boiler by filling a pot with water and nestling a second pot inside the first. heat the water to a calm boil.
– Empty your ‘dirty’ honeycomb from your honey harvest into the
second pot and allow it to melt completely, keeping an eye that the wax
itself does not begin to boil.
– When the wax is completely melted, remove it from the heat and pour
it through a cheesecloth into a cardboard milk carton that you have cut
the top off of.
– Allow the wax to harden, then rip the carton away from the wax.
– Honey will have settled around the wax. save some for your tea and rinse the rest off with cool water in the sink.
– Your wax is now clean and ready to be used however you desire! time to make some balms or candles!
