We infuse this blend of herbs into the oil in large glass jars for a minimum of 6 weeks. We keep the jars in cool dark conditions, much like a wine cellar. Although it would be much easier, we do not use plastic or metal containers for this process, as we want to avoid any toxins leaching into the precious oil. We then strain it with a fine sieve, and use it for all our oil based products. Itʼs quite a process but we find that the result is well worth it, and we think you will find the same is true for you.
