Materials
- - glass container
- - non-metallic mixing spoon
- - fine straining sieve
Preparation
- Put the dried net nettles, preferably just the leaves without the stems, into the glass container.
- Add the oil mix: the base oil (olive oil) plus optional oils such as coconut oil, castor oil, argan oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, ...
If you have no other oils, you can use olive oil only.
Optionally you can add 3-5 drops of one or more essential oils: peppermint, tea-tree, eucalyptus, cinnamon, thyme, argan,... - Close the container tightly and leave to macerate for 30 days in a dark, cool and dry place.
As the nettles are dry, it is recommended to stir them every 2 days with a wooden spoon or by shaking the container.
