6. Let It Rest:
• Bring the mixture to a light boil, then turn off the heat and let it sit for about an hour to marinate and fully combine.
7. Transfer and Store:
• Pour the final blend into sterilized glass jars or tins. Allow it to cool and solidify at room temperature.
Storage Tips:
• Store in a cool, dark place, such as a cupboard or drawer.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
