Take 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup flaxseed and pour in to sauce pan.
Bring to a foamy boil, watching carefully to not let it over flow. Turn heat down as needed.
Boil the mixture, stirring often for 2 minutes
Then strain with mesh strainer either directly in to the mason jar if you have a funnel.Or strain in to a mixing bowl, removing the flax seeds. Now repeat the process with the additional 1 cup of water and return the same flax seeds to the water.
Bring to a foamy boil again, this time for 3 minutes. Stir often.
Strain the gel in to the jar or bowl again.
Immeditatly rinse out sauce pan. (Otherwise it is very hard to clean if you wait.)
If you used a bowl to catch the gel from being strained, pour it in to the liquid measuring cup to easily pour it in to the mason jar for storage.
Add 5 drops of your desired citrus essential oil to help preserve the gel
Store in the fridge for best results
