Extra Notes
I'm not a cook that measures, so when I started making infused oils and homemade salves, etc. I didn't measure and The notes below reflect that.

* Depending on the use of the final oil, I use different ratios of the following oils: safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, sweet almond, jojoba, olive, mustard, coconut or walnut.

For example, I use fenugreek infused oil recipe on my hair so I want the final oil to be light. Based on that, I blend light oils with hair related properties together, then infuse the fenugreek powder in the following blend and order - jojoba (50%), coconut (30%), sunflower (10%)and olive oil (10%).

** I use the Kerr 16oz regular mouth mason jars to make oil infusions in.
