Pick a bunch of plantain and comfrey leaves. Chop them up roughly and put them in a baking pan.
Add
tallow. The tallow was very hard in the jar, and has a beefy aroma. I
added a drizzle of olive oil, and some rose petals.
Stir and bake at 170°F (my lowest oven setting) for 3 hours.
Strain through cheesecloth. (I didn't let it cool first, as it would start hardening).
Reheat the oil.
Add 3 tablets vitamin E. Mix through. (Preservative).
Pour into jars.
It
hardened to a lovely shade of green, with just a tiny bit of sediment
at the bottom of the jars. It smells pretty good, not really rosey, but
not beefy either. It's still a bit stiffer than I would like it, about
the consistency of chapstick. I'll add more olive oil to the next
batch.
