Ingredients:
  • Coconut Oil
  • Raw Sugar (coarse ground)
  • Young Living Peppermint Oil
  • Young Living Lemon Oil
  • Lemon Zest

Recipe:
  • 2 Parts Coconut Oil
  • 1 Part Raw Sugar
  • 5-10 drops of Peppermint Oil (add more for stronger scent)
  • 5 drops of lemon oil
  • Desired amount of Lemon Zest
Directions:
  1. Using a measuring cup, scoop out the desired amount of coconut oil into a large bowl. For one half-pint jar, use 1/2 cup coconut oil.
  2. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the oil until light and fluffy. It should resemble a thick buttercream frosting.
  3. Add 5 drops of Peppermint essential oil to the whipped Coconut Oil, and mix until fully incorporated. Smell the mixture, and add more drops as necessary. 
  4. Add 1/4 cup Raw Sugar for each half-pint jar, and stir with a spatula until evenly mixed.
  5. Add lemon zest and lemon oil, smelling as you add to ensure the mixture "smells good" to you. Add more Lemon or Peppermint Oil to suit your taste.
  6. Divide into jars, and store in a cool, dry place.
