1. Boil & Extract Gel

    • Combine flaxseeds and water in a small saucepan.

    • Simmer on low for 8–10 minutes, stirring, until the liquid thickens and forms clear threads.

  2. Strain

    • While hot, pour through a fine strainer or clean muslin into a heat-safe bowl.

    • Press the seeds to extract maximum gel, then discard or compost the seeds.

  3. Infuse Clove

    • Immediately add whole cloves to the hot gel, cover, and let steep 10 minutes to release their active compounds.

    • If using essential oil, skip the steeping and add the oil once the gel cools below 40 °C (warm to the touch).

  4. Cool & Enrich

    • Remove cloves, then whisk in aloe-vera gel, vitamin E oil, green-tea infusion, honey, and rose water until smooth.

  5. Store

    • Transfer to a sterilised 60 mL glass jar, label, and refrigerate.
