Just setting up some jars of oil for cold infusion of some wild peppermint and evening primrose....they need to set for weeks, but had to test my primrose oil 2 days in....the smell is heavenly !!!
Anyone else do this with their herbs/flowers?

I haven't ever done it, what all is involved? What oil do you use? Olive Oil? Jojoba?

I use olive oil...they say it is the best.
I half fill a small mason jar with dried herb and then fill to the top with olive oil. Close lid tightly and let set in warm sunny location for 4 to 6 weeks. Makes lovely massage oil. :-)

I use olive oil too Juanita, I love making my own massage oil. I'm a Massage Therapist so it really saves money when you don't have to buy expensive oil all the time. What is your favorite scent? Lavender is always a favorite but I really like Tangerine Geranium too.
