Servings: 1small tube (equivalent)
Ingredients
4tablespoonsbentonite clay
1teaspoonxylitol, more to taste
ΒΌteaspoonfine sea salt
2tablespoonshot water
2drops cinnamon leaf essential oil OR 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, cinnamon bark essential oil is too "hot" for this use - use only cinnamon leaf
1drop nutmeg essential oil OR 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, please see note about nutmeg essential oil below
Instructions
Whisk together the clay, xylitol, and sea salt.
Add the water and essential oils and whisk vigorously with a fork until a thick, uniform paste forms. This may take a couple of minutes, as the clay will initially want to clump.
Spoon the paste into a small pastry bag fitted with a screw-on cap, a small sandwich baggie with the corner cut off, or other squeezable container. You may also use a small mason jar, if desired, but something squeezeable is preferable. Be aware that the clay will thicken over the course of a few days.
