Making Roast Garlic
  1. Prepare five cloves of garlic and peel. Bring small oven-safe cookware and put the peeled garlic cloves.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F or 200°C.
  3. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the garlic cloves and mix well. Sprinkle some salt.
  4. Close the lid on the cookware. If you don't have the lid, close the cookware with a foil. Bake the garlic for 40 minutes.
Making the French Butter Candle
  1. Prepare 1.1 pounds (500 g) of salted butter at room temperature.
  2. Take the roasted garlic and smash it finely with a fork. Add half a tablespoon of herb and mix well.
  3. Prepare a glass or a cup you want to make a butter candle in. Then, add a food-grade candle wick in the middle of the cup. Hold the wick with wooden sticks or chopsticks so the wick stays straight.
  4. Take the butter and microwave for 10 seconds. It should melt into liquid, but not sizzling.
  5. When the butter is melted, add the garlic and herb mixture. Mix well.
  6. Pour it into the glass or cup with the wick while the butter mixture is still liquid.
  7. Let the butter mixture cool down. Remove the wick holder.
  8. Your delicious French butter candle with Provence herb and roasted garlic is ready. Light the candle before serving. Have a cozy dinner!
