How to prepare Lavender Massage Oil
- 1/2 cup Sunflower oil
- 1/2 cup Grape Seed oil
- 1/2 cup sweet Almond oil
- 3 TBSP dried Lavender Blossom
- 20 drops Bergamot Essential Oil
Using a glass measuring cup, measure out the 3 base oils and pour them into a small saucepan. Place the pan over low heat; stir continuously with a nonporous utensil until the oils are completely blended.
Remove pan from heat. Add Lavender blossoms; let the blossoms steep in hot oil for 10 minutes. Filter oil through cheesecloth into a 2-cup glass container, and discard blossoms. Add 20 drops of Bergamot oil to filtered oil.
Using a wire whisk, thoroughly mix oils to combine. Let perfumed oil cool. Pour into glass bottles with tight lids or stoppers.
For a variation, substitute 3 TBSP of dried mint leaves for the Lavender blossoms and 30 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil for the Bergamot.
