Calendula Infused Oil Instructions

1. Harvest & Dry the Flowers
Calendula is typically harvested in the morning after dew has evaporated. Dry the whole flowers fully to prevent moisture from entering the oil.
I dried mine at 100°F for 6 hours in a dehydrator.

2. Prepare the Infusion
Place dried calendula flowers in a clean glass jar.
Cover fully with extra virgin olive oil.
Leave the jar near a sunny window for 2 weeks, stirring once or twice daily.

3. Strain & Store
Strain using sanitized tools: a funnel and fine strainer.
If debris remains, strain again through cheesecloth.
Transfer your finished calendula oil to an amber bottle and store in a cool, dark place.
