Have you ever wanted to start make your own herbal infusions but didn’t know where to start? Below you can find a list of oils to use, happy crafting!

Before we begin, there are a few important things to note before starting your oil infusions:

• Oil has a shelf life, don’t make more than you need
• For slow infusions, choose a cool and dark place out of the sun (it will spoil faster)
• make sure whatever herbs you use are 100% dry! The moisture from fresh herbs will spoil the oil
• If doing hot infusion, bring the oil to a warm temp and let the herbs steep for about thirty minutes (if on a warm setting like a crockpot, infusion can be left for 12 hours)
