How to make your own tea flavoured lip balm (vegan)

Find some empty mini tins. Clean them thoroughly and leave them to dry completely.

Measure your ingredients. I recommend a ratio of three parts butter for one part oil. If you want a softer balm, go for half and half.

Cocoa butter acts as a protective barrier by supplying and retaining moisture in the lips and skin. Cocoa butter also contains antioxidant vitamins A, C and E. (http://www.livestrong.com)

Pick your favourite DAVIDsTEA flavor!

I picked Organic Hot Lips because I thought the spicy flavor would go well with the cocoa butter, but also because cinnamon is a natural lip plumper! :-)

Put about an inch (2.5cm) of water in a small-sized pot and bring to a boil. Using a Mason jar to make a bain-marie, melt your cocoa butter and coconut oil.

Turn off the heat and add your tea, then let sit for about 15 minutes.

Using a tea strainer, pour your mixture in another jar.

You could also add a tiny bit of beet juice (for a rosy tint), vitamine E, shea butter, sweet almond oil, essential oils, sugar, cocoa powder, etc. For a scrubby feel, simply leave the tea leaves!

Carefully pour a little bit of the oil mixture in each mini tin.

Let sit for about an hour on the counter, then move carefully the tins to the fridge. After a few hours, your lip balms should be perfectly set.

Use as often as you like! :) These balms can also be used as cuticle moisturizers.
