Ingredients
Lilac flowersFresh or Dried
Carrier oil
Glass jar
Instructions
Pick some fresh lilacs, clean with cool water and leave on towel to dry for a day or two. (You can also use dried lilacs)
Once dry, add them to a jar, filling about half way.
Cover the flowers in a carrier oil of your choice. Make sure they are completely covered.
Lit sit in the jar for around 6 weeks to slowly infuse.
(Heat Method): If you don’t want to wait 6 weeks, you can make the calendula oil by gently heating the jar. Place the jar (with the lid off) into a small pot of water over very low heat, just warm enough to heat the oil without boiling it. Let it sit for 2–4 hours, making sure the water stays warm but not too hot. Always keep an eye on it!
