A bamboo chop stick makes a great tool for stirring this. Remove from heat and use about 20 drops of the peppermint essential oil and stir. Pour into containers right away. Wait 24 hours for the lip balm to set before using.
These adhesive labels came with my tins and I used a red sharpie to color them like a peppermint candy.
