Lavender Infused Oil

Indulge your senses with the lovely floral scent of Lavender. This DIY Lavender infused oil is easy to make with just a small bit of dried Lavender and luxurious body oil. It’s perfect for gifts, or you can dab it on as a light perfume, or massage it into the skin after a bath or shower for a total spa experience.

Instructions

1. Find a slightly larger heat-proof bowl with a lip that allows the bowl to rest securely inside the pot without the bottom touching the base of the pot.
2. Add a small amount of water in the pot, low enough that it doesn’t reach the bottom of the bowl that will sit on top of the pot.
3. Heat the water to boiling and then reduce to a simmer.
4. Place the bowl on the pot, add your oil of choice and Lavender, and stir.
5. Set a timer for 30 minutes.
6. Stir and check the water level inside the pot periodically, adding more water as needed so it doesn’t evaporate.
7. When the timer is done, strain the herb from the oil into a clean (ideally sterilized!) bottle or jar.
8. Discard the used herb.
9. Let the strained oil cool to room temperature.
10. Use immediately on the skin or close with a lid for storing. Enjoy!
