Materials

  • dried chamomile flowers
  • olive oil (or other oil, such as jojoba or sweet almond)

Instructions

  • Before you begin, decide on an infusion method.
  • Gather the supplies needed. You'll need 1 part dried chamomile to 2 parts oil. For instance, 1/2 cup of chamomile flowers and 1 cup of olive oil.
  • Add the chamomile flowers to a clean and sterilized glass jar. Pour the oil over the top of the flowers and seal the jar with a lid and ring. Gently shake the jar to make sure that all the flowers are submerged under the oil.

Cold Oil Infusion

  • To do a cold oil infusion, simply place the jar in a warm sunny spot for the next 4 -6 weeks to allow the herbs to infuse into the oil.
  • After 4-6 weeks, strain out the chamomile flowers using muslin cloth or a fine mesh strainer.

Warm Oil Infusion

  • To do a warm oil infusion, fill a slow cooker to about half full with hot water. Place the tightly sealed jar in the slow cooker and turn the slow cooker to the warm setting. Put the lid on the slow cooker.
  • Allow the herbs to infuse in the slow cooker for 8-10 hours. Then strain using muslin cloth or a fine mesh strainer.
  • Store your infused oil in a clean sterilized jar. For the best results, store it in a cool dark place, such as a cabinet or closet.
