Instructions
- Gently liquefy coconut oil in a microwave-safe container, ensuring smooth melting without overheating.

- Select silicone molds or an ice cube tray as your shaping vessel, methodically transferring the herbal concoction into each compartment.
- Apply firm, even pressure while filling molds to compact ingredients and create dense, structured tea bombs.
