herbs, completely covering the flowers. When using dried flowers allow room for expansion as the flowers take up the oil by leaving a few inches of liquid at the top. Check for moisture and dry any condensation that forms at the top of jar when using fresh plants.
- Let infuse for about 3 weeks in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
