Method:

1. Ensure all equipment, benches and packaging is clean and germ free.

2. Weigh out phase 1 (water) into a saucepan.

3. Weigh out phase 2 into another heat safe container for double boiler or low direct heat

4. Heat both phases to 70-75ºC– remove from heat.

5. Combine phases 1 & 2 and emulsify with a stick blender for about 5 minutes.  Allow to stand for 10 minutes and blend again.  Allow to cool to 40ºC

6. Add phase 3 and stick blend through thoroughly to ensure even dispersion and emulsion.

7. Check pH and adjust if necessary to 5.3-5.8.

8. You may package your product while still warm but do not put the lids on until completely cool
