I used 1/4 cup of my lemon balm infused olive oil combined with 7g of bees wax. It made exactly 6, 1/2oz little containers of the lip balm. Thank you! (I also infused some calendula with the olive oil and lemon balm)

Thanks for sharing! There may be several steps in the process but I think the “juice is worth the squeeze.” That lip balm looked brilliant. We’ve recently decided as a family to move from the city that we’ve called home for 30+ years. It’s a beautiful city in Washington state but it’s getting ever more crowded. As my husband and I get older we find we’re nostalgic about the smaller, rural setting we experienced as kids. And I’d really like to try my hand at veg, herb, and medicinal gardens. Your channel is informative and fun. And inspirational. I’m getting lots of ideas with every video!🙂 Thanks for sharing. Blessings and wishes for good health to the whole family!👍🙂

Ah what a lovely comment, thank you so much 🥰 I hope you find a really lovely home in the countryside and enjoy growing your own veg and herbs. There's really nothing like the taste of home grown 💚 The lip balm has been really lovely for both Rose and me. It's one we will definitely make it again and I'm so glad you like our videos, thank you for watching, it means a lot. X Karen 🌼

That's great to hear. Lemon balm can get enthusiastic when it grows so it's good to have some recipes lined up! Do come back and let me know what you think of the lip balm 💚 And if you still have an excess of lemon balm, let me know if you'd like a recipe for ice cream which is heavenly 😁

I am in South Africa. I dried my home grown Lemon Balm and it has been infusing in Jojoba oil for 6 weeks. Tomorrow I am going to make a salve. I want to add Frankincense to it. How many drops of the essential oil would you add to half a cup of infused oil? I have some lovely beeswax from a local bee keeper. Thank you so much for this video!

@rosesallotmentadventures9365 11 ай бұрын

Hi Kathy, lovely to hear from you. I would add 6 drops of frankincense as it can be quite strong. Stir in well see what you think. It's easy to add more if you want. Congratulations on finding local beeswax too 💚

Thank you for this lovely recipe. I just love lemon balm. The scent is gorgeous. I am thinking that you could maybe blend two herbs together such as lemon balm and peppermint or rosemary. You would then get the benefit from two herbs. Anyway, well done on the video. You explained it very well and your voice is so soothing.

@rosesallotmentadventures9365 10 ай бұрын

That is an excellent idea. I particularly like the idea of rosemary, a other great herb. Im a big fan of lemon balm myself and have a recipe for lemon balm ice cream on here too. It's divine 😋

This sounds great. I grow a lot of Lemon balm at my garden for teas, and just this Christmas I made an organic Calendula skin balm as presents for my family. willl have to try this as soon as I can. what program do you use to print your labels? it would be good to do that as well.

@stuffandchez2561 2 ай бұрын

Could you take the dried leaves and put it in a double boiler with the olive oil for a few hours? I saw that method on another video for plantain salve, but I am not sure if it carries over to lemon balm?

@rosesallotmentadventures9365 2 ай бұрын

Yes you can use the double boiler method. Keep the heat low and keep checking that your water hasn't evaporated. Let me know how you get on 💚

So i read drying out in the oven (Electric) just place on a tray and leave in the oven with just the light on for 24 hrs? Is that right?? And can you use johnsons baby oil?

@rosesallotmentadventures9365 Жыл бұрын

You may find that the flower heads will go to the white puffy stage if you dry them out in the oven light. Have a practice with one and see how you go. You will need a more neutral oil than Johnsons. Use olive oil or failing that, a sunflower oil if you can't get olive oil. Hope that helps 😊

Is there anything different you need to do when you put it in tubes instead of tins?:

@rosesallotmentadventures9365 10 ай бұрын

Do you tubes that you twist up, like a lip balm? I've not tried using those so you may need to adjust the butter and wax to the right consistency. You may need it a little stiffer
