Note about the Coconut Oil – If it’s summer where you are and/or you live in a warm climate, then your coconut oil will likely be liquid at room temperature. If that’s the case, then you’ll need to let it firm-up in the fridge for about an hour. Keep checking on it – it should be have a thick but not solid consistency, like butter/margarine or shortening.
