Equipment
- 1 Glass jar with tight-fitting lid
- 1 Fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth
- 1 Clean, dark glass bottle or container for storage
Ingredients
Rosemary (choose one)
- 1 cup Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 tbsp Dried rosemary leaves
Add Your Carrier Oil (choose one)
- 1 cup castor oil
(for thicker & faster hair growth) - 1 cup coconut oil (best for hair growth)
- 1 cup almond oil (for long hair)
Instructions
- Sanitize the Jar: Allow the canning jar to boil in a saucepan for 10 minutes in order to kill bacteria.
- Prepare the Rosemary: Wash and thoroughly dry 1 cup Fresh rosemary sprigs to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Infusion Process: Place the clean 1 cup Fresh rosemary sprigs or 2 tbsp Dried rosemary leaves
in a clean, dry glass jar. - Add Carrier Oil: Pour 1 cup of carrier oil of your choice (such as 1 cup castor oil
, 1 cup coconut oil, or 1 cup almond oil) over the rosemary sprigs until they are completely submerged. - Infusion Time: Seal the jar tightly and place it in a warm, sunny spot for about 2-4 weeks to allow the rosemary to infuse into the oil. Shake the jar gently every few days to help distribute the oils and enhance the infusion process.
- Strain the Oil: After the infusion period, strain the oil using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the rosemary leaves. Squeeze out any excess oil from the rosemary to extract as much infused oil as possible.
- Store Properly: Transfer the strained rosemary oil into a clean, dark glass bottle or container with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain its freshness and potency.
