Instructions

First things first you want to make sure everything you're using is clean and sterile, you can do that my running them under hot water then making sure they're completely dry. OR else this won't work.

In infused oils you can use a wide range of flowers and spices. I even have several bottles of rose infused oil. It's extremely potent so when you're using it, make sure to use a little or exactly how much is called for.

• You want to get your fresh herbs, and wash them thoroughly so they're not dirty. Then you want to bruise or rub your herbs. If you're deciding to use spices put them on some foil and toast them in the oven to bring out their maximum flavor.
• Place into a clean glass jar, make sure it's completely dry before doing so.
• Add oil until the spices and/or herbs are completely covered.
• Put the lid onto the jar and close it.
• Once you've done the above, place the jar in a sunny windowsill, or somewhere sunny where it won't be disturbed. Once a day, swirl or shake the jar to mix the oils. It's extremely important that no moisture is in the oils as it can make it rancid or moldy.
• Once your oil has been sitting in a sunny spot for about a week, strain the oil with the strainer. If you don't feel that the oil is strong enough, add fresh herbs and spices to the oil and repeat the process as much as you feel is needed.
