Instructions
  1. Fill your clean, dry jar with the dried herbs. Add the jojoba oil and shake to combine. You can expect the herbs to expand a bit.
  2. Check your jar over the first couple of days to ensure all the herbs are completely covered with the oil as they expand. Add more jojoba oil if needed.
  3. Allow your oil mixture to infuse for 2 weeks in a warm, sunny spot or infuse using the quick method (see below. ) Strain the herbs and add the frankincense essential oil, carrot seed oil and German Chamomile essential oil. Gently turn your jar back and forth to combine. Label & date your infused oil.
  4. I like to return most of my infused oil to the original glass jojoba oil bottle for daily use.
Quick Infusion (Double-Boiler Method):
  1. In a double boiler or a heat safe measuring cup in a pan of water, simmer the oil and herbs over very low heat. Simmer gently for 30 to 60 minutes or longer, keeping the oil between 95-110 degrees. As Rosemary Gladstar likes to say, “the lower the heat and the longer the infusion, the better the oil.”
Quick Infusion Method 2# (Dehydrator):
  1. This is one of my favorite methods! If you have an Excalibur (or similar type) dehydrator with a temperature control, you can infuse your herbs in it. Add all of your herbs and oil to a pint jar. Shake to combine. Remove enough of the trays so that your glass jar with infused herbs sits in the bottom. Set the temperature between 95-110 degrees and leave it for 2 days, shaking it periodically.
Recipe Notes

Since water can introduce moisture and bacteria, make sure that your glass jar and lid are completely dry before adding the herbs and oil.
