• 360 g of soy wax
• 4 g of organic lemon eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus citriodora) (To substitute this essential oil, check out our article linked above!)
• 8 g of organic East Indian lemongrass essential oil (Cymbopogon flexuosus) (To substitute this essential oil, check out our article linked above!)
• 4 g of organic rose geranium essential oil (Pelargonium graveloens) (To substitute this essential oil, check out our article linked above!)
• 4 0.5 mm wooden wicks and candle bases
• kitchen or precision scale
• wick trimmer (Optional, but very handy!)
• 4 125 ml Mason jars
• strong glue (e.g., epoxy)

1. Glue a base to the bottom of each Mason jar, in the center, and attach a wooden wick to it. Set aside.

2. In a double boiler, melt the soy wax. Remove from heat right away once melted and let cool about 20 minutes, or long enough that you can touch the container without burning yourself.

3. Add the essential oils and mix well with a fork or small whisk.

4. Let cool, stirring every 10 minutes, until the wax starts to turn opaque (it will have reached a temperature between 35° and 40° Celsius).

5. Mix one last time and pour into the jars.

6. Let set and rest 24 hours before trimming the wicks to 5 mm above the wax surface. This is important: a wick that's too long will keep the candle from burning!

Every time you use it, it's important to trim the wick to 5 mm above the wax surface before lighting the candle, so it burns optimally!

It's also important to wait until the whole candle surface has melted before putting it out to keep a tunnel from forming in the wax.

Happy hunting!
