Vanilla Spice Infused Massage Oil
Ingredients
- 2 vanilla pods
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp chili seeds
Instructions
Fast (heat infusion)
- cut each pod into four pieces
- mix together all of the ingredients in a heat safe glass container with a lid (or cover with foil paper) to prevent the vanilla’s essential oils from escaping into the air.
- set in a bain marie / double boiler for one hour.
- strain the vanilla seeds using a coffee filter
- bottle your oil – will keep for 6 months
Slow (cold infusion: many prefer this method to retain the properties of the oil)
- mix together all of the ingredients in a glass jar with a lid. You can keep the pods whole or cut in half if you prefer
- place the jar in a sunny spot for two weeks – the longer, the stronger your infusion will be
- if you cut your pods in half, use a coffee filter to strain out the seeds
- bottle your oil – will keep for 6 months
