Mullein & Ginger Massage Oil

Ingredients
  

  • ½ oz dried mullein leaves and/or root
  • ½ oz dried ginger root
  • 6–8 oz sunflower oil
  • ½ oz 190-proof alcohol (like Everclear)

Method
 

  1. Grind about 1 oz dried herb into a coarse powder.
  2. Moisten the powder with just enough 190-proof alcohol (like Everclear) to make it damp and crumbly. Start with a ½ oz and add more if needed.
  3. Place parchment paper under the lid of a jar and cap tightly. Let the herb and alcohol mixture sit in the sealed jar for 24 hours.
  4. Blend the herb/alcohol mix with your carrier oil (start with 6-8 oz and add more if needed to get a blendable texture).
  5. Warm the mixture gently in a double boiler for a few hours to reduce alcohol content and boost extraction.
  6. Strain thoroughly through cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
  7. Bottle in an amber jar, label, and store out of direct light.
