Save my basil

[Obsidian]

I made a batch with fresh basil FO and completely forgot this accelerates, plus it had coconut milk and salt added.

By the time I was smashing it in the mold, it was already solid and chunky. Forcing gel saved it and made all the chunks homogenize.

The FO is worth the trouble, should have been better prepared.
Oh, I also added the FO to the oils, whoops.

Thanks. While its not what I envisioned, I'm very happy with how it turned out, flaws and all.

Whenever that happens, try walking away for 5 minutes. I even set the timer. When you come back it will be going into gel stage and easy to quickly stir and mold up. Good thing you knew what to do! It turned out great.

I didn't see that until you mentioned it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Cute!

Interesting tip about FOs accelerating. I’ll keep in mind my next FO mishap. Thanks
