I purchase mine from various vendors and the mix is always a little different (some softer, some thicker). I don't have an exact recipe for it, so hopefully someone else can chime in if they have made their own. Sorry I cannot offer more.

Hi, look at the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... it shows making a quick purple cloud cream, and gives a recipe. They just use zi cao gen and dang gui, but use the best herbs for your application.

Heat up 500 ml (2 cups) of unroasted sesame oil in a heavy pot. Add in a half pound of grated beeswax and 1 oz (about 2 TBSP) clean lard. When just melted and at a gentle bubble, add in 3 oz of dang gui and cook until the herb turns a golden brown. Strain out and add 3 oz of zi cao gen (lithospermum) and cook until the oil turns a deep purple. Remove the herbs with a strainer, then pour into a bowl through cheesecloth. Stir with a silicon spatula until it reaches a creamy consistency. Add 1/4 tsp vitamin E to preserve it. Spoon into containers.
