Recipe: Night Sky Beeswax Tarts

You Will Need:

16 oz Beeswax Pastilles - White, Unrefined
1.5 oz Night Sky Fragrance Oil

Phase 1: Fill the bottom of the double boiler with a few inches of water and set the top pan on. When using the two-pot method, be sure your top pan is a size smaller than the bottom pot.

Phase 2: Place the wax in the top pan or pot and insert the thermometer. Melt the wax over low to medium heat until melted (about 160F).

Phase 3: Take the melted wax off the heat and add fragrance. Fragrances are fragile because they contain oil and should be mixed into the wax after it is removed from the heat source.

Phase 4: Prepare your wax tart molds by placing them on cooling racks. This will help the air to circulate underneath and protect surfaces from heat damage. Almost any mold can be used to make tarts, including muffin tins and soap molds.

Phase 5: Pour the scented wax into the molds, leaving a small amount of room at the top in case sinking in the center occurs and a second pour is required after they are cooled.

Phase 6: Cool the tarts completely and check for depressions in the middle, at which point you might want to add more wax and cool them again.

Phase 7: Remove tarts from the molds. Placing them in the freezer for about 30 minutes can be helpful if popping them out is tricky. Package when cool.

To Use: Place your tart into a tart warmer and allow to melt.
