Prepare your tea cup by placing a small amount of wax adhesive to the bottom of your wick and placing it in the centre of your tea cup. Hold for a few seconds and set aside.
Fill your tea cup to the brim with soy wax flakes and dump them into a bowl. Then repeat again. Yes, you’ll need at least double the wax to fill your tea cup.
Add your soy wax flakes to a bowl over a boiling pot of water. Stir occasionally until it melts. Then, using a thermometer, heat the wax until it reaches 160F. Remove from heat and stir in several drops of caramel liquid dye until you reach your desired colour. I used about 6 drops in mine. Add in 10 to 15 drops of your scent and stir.
Carefully fill the tea cup with the wax and let it harden at room temperature. It takes about an hour or so.
