Beeswax Dripping

Never before I experienced cooling and solidifying beeswax by dripping them in water during filtering process. In fact, my usual procedure of cleaning or filtering beeswax is to pour them over a filter bag into containers after heating.

One fine day, I tried with a small batch of my beeswax as I would like to find out how the beeswax would be. I prepared a medium size of rectangle container filled with water. After the beeswax melted thoroughly, I started to pour them carefully into the filter bag just positioned above the container. The beeswax dripped drop by drop swiftly and I slightly moved the filter bag randomly in order to minimize overlapping of beeswax drops.

I could see the beeswax drops became solid almost instantly once fall into the water. After the last drop, I drained the water inside the container and then I got a piece of clean and solid beeswax drops as photos show below.

I broke them into smaller pieces at the end and now they look like few pieces of  crispy fried chicken skin to me. Oh I'm hungry!
