½ cup of Fenugreek powder.
½ cup of Neem powder
½ cup of Moringa powder
½ cup of Amla powder
15ml Coconut oil
10ml Grapeseed oil

Directions:
You first need to pour boiling water into a medium-sized pot on a hot stove. In the pot, place a medium-sized bowl – preferably a heat-resistant glass one – which you will use for your double boiling method.
Add all your ingredients to the pot.
Carefully stir the mix until it melts completely.
Once completely melted, take off the heat and let it sit until it is cooled. Once cool, pop into the freezer until it is completely set.
Once it is set, whip the mixture until it is a smooth buttery texture.
Transfer to a clean container with a lid to store.
