🧪 How to Prepare the Clove-Vaseline Mixture
1 teaspoon ground cloves or 3–5 drops clove essential oil
2 tablespoons Vaseline
Instructions:
- Grind the cloves (if whole): Use a mortar and pestle or spice grinder until you have a fine powder.
- Warm the Vaseline (optional): Slightly soften it by placing the jar in warm water. Don’t overheat.
- Combine ingredients: In a clean bowl, mix the clove powder or oil thoroughly into the Vaseline until you get a smooth, even texture.
- Store properly: Transfer the mixture into a clean, airtight container or small cosmetic jar. Keep in a cool, dry place.
This homemade balm can last several weeks if stored properly.
