Garlic and rosemary tallow candle
Other 15 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- Place the beef tallow in a small saucepan over a low heat. Add rosemary, thyme and lightly crushed garlic. Warm gently for 8–10 minutes until the tallow is fully melted and fragrant. Do not let it smoke. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain through a fine sieve to remove the herbs and garlic.
- To make a long, tall candle mould, use the cardboard tube from a roll of kitchen paper towels. Glue the bottom of the tube onto a small square of cardboard and allow to dry completely.
- Line the inside with a piece of baking paper. Tie the wick onto a toothpick or wooden skewer.
- Pour the tallow into the mould, insert the wick and refrigerate until set.
- To unmould, remove the baking paper and unwrap the candle. Place it on a candlestick holder.
- Light the candle for dipping and serve with the baguettes.
