 INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Prepare the Ginger Base

1. Peel and finely grate fresh ginger until you have 1 tablespoon.
2. Place the grated ginger in a clean muslin cloth or cheesecloth and squeeze to extract the juice. You should get about 1 teaspoon of potent ginger juice.
3. Discard the pulp and set the juice aside.

Step 2: Blend the Cream

1. In a small glass bowl, combine coconut oil and aloe vera gel. Stir until smooth.
2. Add raw honey and mix thoroughly.
3. Stir in the ginger juice and vitamin E oil.
4. If using essential oils, add them now and blend gently.
5. Mix until the texture is creamy and uniform. You can use a small whisk or spoon.

Step 3: Store

1. Transfer the cream into a sterilized glass jar with a lid.
2. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days (due to the fresh ginger content).
3. For longer shelf life, freeze in small portions and thaw as needed.
