HERB INFUSED OIL
Cold Method
Before you put the herbs in the jar,
it is important to check to make sure they are completely dry. Any water
in the herbs can make the infusion turn rancid.
Place herbs in the jar.
Pour oil over the herbs until it completely covers the herbs. Set in a
sunny spot for 2 to 6 weeks.
It is the heat from the sun that is going
to release the plant constituents into the oil.
Once the oil has had a
chance to infuse, pour the mixture through the cheese cloth .
Pour the oil into a bottle.
