This is How to Prepare your own Infused Oils at Home

Water Bath Method...

Ingredients: potpourri
Vegetable Oil
Double Broiler Pot
Coffee Filters or Paper Towels
2 cups Water
straining funnel
Clean Glass Bowl
Mason Jar or ceramic container

Pour the 2 cups of water in the bottom pot of the double broiler
and put on a medium heat. In the top pot of the double Broiler
add the potpourri and the vegetable oil. (Make sure the oil covers the potpourri.) Once the water is boiling in the bottom half of the double broiler place the top pot on it and cover with lid. Keep the lid on the the oil and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon and bring the oil to a simmer for 30 minutes. Watch the oil does not get to hot. (If it should not smoke or bubble, It can burn easily and will develop a acrid smell if it over heats.) Once the Oil has simmered for 30 minutes pull the pot off the heat and let cool to a room temperature before you strain (If you try to drain it hot you will get burned) Once the oil has cooled off where you can handle it. place coffee filters/Paper towels in a straining position around the bowl and slowly pour the oil to strain the potpourri from the oil. (you may have to strain it twice.) Once you have the oil separated from the potpourri pour the oil in the jar or ceramic container to store for use.

(NOTE:) PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS AS IT IS VERY HOT AND POSSIBLE TO GET SEVERLY BURNED...
