When I went to Brest France there was this pizza joint that had wine bottles on the tables with oil and herbs that you would pour on your pizza. They would use the whole branch that was dried and placed upside down in the bottle. Will do this this week. Thank you for allowing me to remember this.

Well in the 4 years I been infusing my oils I never thought of the crockpot method. Thank you for this because this will now be my go to for when I get custom orders because in a regular I have a 5 gallon plastic jug that I use to infuse my oils and I let it sit for at least 3 months before I bottle it to sell or put in my cosmetics. Thanks for your tutorial because I now learned a quicker method

I am really interested in producing my own lip balm/salve products but have never infused my own herbal oils. I am assuming that even a qt jar would yield enough oil to make alot of 1 oz tins of balm/salve, yes? Thanks...just trying to estimate the amnt of oil/herbs I would need to get started. LOVE your videos!

Hi, thank you for the tutorial, really appreciate it. Is is mandatory to strain/remove herbs from the infused oil or can the herbs be left in the jar/bottle until oil is all used up? Many thanks

@Romans828girl 10 ай бұрын

I'm new to this, but I think the problem is that as the oil is used up and the top of the herbs are exposed to the air, they can mold. You never want your herbs to be sticking up above the level of the oil. I think that's the reason for removing them.

What are you going to use the one in the quarts size jar for? I wanted to make some but I want it for my face, so are you saying g if I want it for my face to use jojoba oil?

The quart jars I use for soap and salves. For face I personally like jojoba oil the best.

can you use the herbs that you infused when you are ready drained them, like in soap( can you put the herb in the soap instead of throwing them away) just wondering my soap may not turn a dark color thanks

I don't use the herbs in my soap, after being infused in the oil they don't have much properties left.

Wouldn't the heat generate steam inside the jar? I'm thinking the water from the steam may drop in the oil which may create mold and bacteria?.. idk.. what's wrong with heating up the oil and dry herbs uncovered?

@MelissaKNorris 5 жыл бұрын

I've never had that problem as there's no moisture inside the jar for it generate steam from. Uncovered and you can get steam or splashing from the water. If you're careful (my kitchen tends to be busy) you can try it however you wish.

@andreacremeans1055 3 жыл бұрын

It may not work too well since they’ve been made into powder. There’s less oils in powder (if any). You want those oils and nutrients from the dried herbs to infuse into the oil.
