Making calendula oil
Calendula infused oil is a great thing to have about - as well as being the basis for balms and salves it can be used as a bath oil, a massage oil or facial oil.
You need:
- Petals from 4 calendula flowers (fresh or dry)
- Oil - rapeseed, almond, your choice!
- Wide necked jar
- Square of muslin
- Elastic band
Method:
Put calendula petals in jar and cover with oil.
Stir well to get air bubbles out.
Cover with muslin and secure with elastic band. Put on sunny windowsill. Leave for 4-6 weeks, shaking gently every day or so and making sure petals remain under the oil.
Use muslin to strain the petals out of the oil - then secure petal filled muslin with elastic band and use in your bath.
