Gorgeously Golden Calendula Oil

This gorgeously golden oil can be used on its own or as an ingredient in salves, lip balms, creams and ointments.

Ingredients:

Dried Calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis)

Olive oil

Cleaned, sterilised, dry jar with lid

A gorgeously sunny windowsill

Place the calendula flowers into the jar. You can dry them yourself if you have them in your garden by placing them in a humidifier or air drying on a rack. Alternatively, they can be purchased from dried herb suppliers. Fill the jar with enough olive oil to cover the flowers. Pop on the lid and leave on your sunny windowsill for 2 weeks shaking every few days. Once the oil is ready strain it into another clean jar with an air tight lid.
