How to Burn Resin: 

With multiple different resin burners available, there are many ways to burn resin. We recommend using an adjustable resin burner, with these burners you may use a candle and adjust to the desired heat.

Burning resin using a charcoal: 

• Using tongs, light a charcoal with matches or lighter until it ignites. 
• Once it is lit, put the charcoal in an incense burner (avoid wood or glass as it would burn or shatter.) 
• To prevent burning any surfaces fill the bottom of the container with sand, stones or dirt. 
• Add a small amount of resin to the top of the charcoal. As the resin burns feel the atmosphere get blanketed in aromatic bliss!

Frankincense Tea: 

• Crush Resin with a mortar or pestle and add a teaspoon into 1-2 cups of warm or room temperature water. No heat is necessary to extract the medicinal properties from the resin.
• Use plastic wrap or a cloth to cover your cup or container. Let set overnight.
• Drink the resin infusion throughout the next day.
• This tea should be good for a couple days refrigerated.
• If you made too much, try freezing the remaining tea in ice cube trays.
• Make sure to listen to your body and moderate your intake. It is better to consume small amounts over-time, rather than a large quantity all at once.
• You can reuse the tears used during the first infusion for another batch!
