I Am Hot Honey

First, enjoy every spoonful — whether it’s the clean, raw beauty of I Am Real Honey, or the bold, fiery fusion of I Am Hot Honey.

When the jar’s empty, your journey’s just getting started. These aren’t just honey jars … they’re designed to live again.

Here’s how to transform your empty jar into a beeswax candle that keeps glowing long after the honey’s gone.

🐝 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Eat it all.

Savor your Real or Hot Honey till the very last lick.

2. Plant your lid.

Both jars come with garden-starting lids. Place the lid top face up in a small pot of soil and water gently. Over time, you’ll see the beginnings of a bee garden — right from your kitchen.

3. Remove the label & prep your station.

Carefully remove the label from your jar and keep the cardboard packaging — you’ll need it soon.

4. Set up a double boiler.

Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and place your empty honey jar into the water. Let the wax melt slowly and naturally. (This could take a while — patience is power.)

5. Make a wick holder.

From your cardboard box, cut a strip and poke a hole in the center. Thread your wick through. This will hold it centered while your wax cools.

6. Prepare a clean jar.

Choose a glass jar to pour your wax into. Pre-warm it under hot water and dry thoroughly. This step is essential to avoid glass cracking.

7. Pour the wax.

Once melted, carefully pour the wax into your clean jar. Balance the wick using your cardboard holder so it stays upright.

8. Let it cure.

Let your candle sit undisturbed for 24–48 hours.

9. Trim and light.

After curing, trim the wick to 0.5 cm, remove your holder, and light your new upcycled candle.

Optional: You may add essential oils, but only use oils certified for candle-making, and always follow safe blending ratios.
