How to make mocha coffee body butter

1. Pour whole coffee beans into the coconut oil.
2. Heat on the stove over low heat for 10 to 20 minutes.
3. Once the oil has developed the desired aroma, remove it from the heat and strain it through a metal sieve.
4. Melt the coffee-soaked coconut oil with the remaining ingredients in a double boiler.
5. Let cool slightly before pouring the mixture into a large bowl.
6. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until the mixture begins to harden at the edges (about 45 minutes). The mixture should look cloudy.
7. Beat with a hand mixer on high speed for 8 to 10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
8. Return the bowl to the refrigerator for another 5 to 10 minutes to stiffen, then pour into storage jars.
9. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Sift coffee beans immediately for a subtle fragrance. For a more potent aroma, let the beans sit in coconut oil at room temperature in a cool, dark place for a few days before straining. Another way to create a more powerful aroma is to crack or grind the coffee beans before heating them, but make sure you have a good strainer that will keep the coarse coffee grounds out of your final product.
