Hey Liz,
here is a really basic question for some I guess!
What do you use infused oils for? I make them to cook with, but not packed
like you make them? Do you add the oil as a 'flavouring' to the products you
make?
Also, where did you do a herbal course?
Thanks
Kim

Hey Rebecca,
I know this because I did a herbal course a few years back and I also have
herbal infusions on the go all the time.
My infusions always have seepage and oil over run, no matter how tight you
close the lid.
But - I'm not sure why! Maybe it is because the dried herb expands as it
soaks in the oil and creates a larger mass of herbal material and therefore
causes excess oil?
I've sent off an email to a herbal friend - I will report back.
Cheers
Liz

You've lost me Liz. Why would oil leak out of the jar?
Cheers Rebecca

I would like to do a Organic infused Chamomile oil.
Do I put the dried chamomile into a jar with Sunflower oil and leave for 2
weeks. How much oil would I need?
