  • Dehydrator
  • Strainer
  • Double Boiler

Ingredients

  • 3 cups dried dandelion flowers
  • 3 cups carrier oil

  • Remove the stems and dry the dandelion flowers. This can be done on the counter on a paper towel for a few days or in the dehydrator at 165 degrees for 12 hours.

Instructions for making Quick Process Dandelion Oil

  • Add the water to the bottom pot and then add 3 cups of dandelions to the second pot.
  • Pour 3 cups of the carrier oil over the top and simmer on low for 5 hours.Keep a close eye on it. As I mentioned my pot just fit my ingredients so you don't want to walk too far away.
  • If you are using coconut oil add it to the second pot first and let it melt before adding in the dandelions. 
  • Once done, strain the flowers from the oil and store in an airtight jar away from the light. Discard the flowers. This will keep up to 6 months.

Instructions foe making Slow Process Dandelion Oil

  • Combine 3 cups of dried dandelions and 3 cups of the carrier oil in a 32 oz. mason jar. 
  • Put the jar in a cabinet for 4-6 weeks and occasionally shake it. 
  • Once 4-6 weeks has passed, strain the oil and discard the flowers. Store it in an air tight container for up to 6 months out of the light.
