Breathe Deep and Infuse: Crafting Your Own Rosemary Oil with Ease

Calling all herbal enthusiasts and wellness seekers! Today, we embark on a fragrant journey, guided by your trusty ALTA1, to create the ultimate natural elixir – rosemary oil. This potent botanical ally will be your go-to for culinary delights, aromatic bliss, and soothing self-care rituals. So, grab your fresh rosemary sprigs and prepare to infuse your way to wellness!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh rosemary leaves, washed and dried.
  • 2 cups high-quality carrier oil (olive, grapeseed, jojoba – choose your favorite!).

Equipment

  • Your ALTA1 machine (it's about to become your new rosemary hero!).
  • A canning jar or airtight glass container.
  • A strainer.

Instructions

  1. Prep your rosemary: Gently remove the leaves from the stems and discard the stems. Give the leaves a quick rinse and dry them thoroughly – moisture is no friend of infused oils! You can put all the herbs into the ALTA1 kettle and use ALTA 1 "Dry" function.
  2. Set up for infusion: Input the fragrant rosemary leaves and your chosen carrier oil into your ALTA 1's kettle.
  3. Set and relax: Select the "Altafuse" cycle and set the timer for 40 - 60 minutes. As your ALTA 1 hums its soothing melody, the rosemary's essence will gently infuse into the oil, creating a potent and aromatic treasure.
  4. Strain and store: After the cycle, carefully strain the infused oil through the strainer into your chosen container. Discard the spent rosemary (composting is optional), and label your masterpiece with the date of infusion. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Tip & Tricks

  • Experiment with different carrier oils to find your perfect flavor and texture. Olive oil offers a rich taste, while jojoba oil is lighter and non-comedogenic.
  • Infuse your rosemary oil with other herbs like lavender or chamomile for a unique blend of aromas and benefits.
  • Get creative! Use your rosemary oil in salad dressings, marinades, homemade soaps, or as a luxurious massage oil.

With your ALTA1 and this simple recipe, crafting your own rosemary oil is not just achievable, it's an aromatic adventure! Breathe in the natural goodness, discover its versatility, and embrace the wellness within every drop.
