Procedure

  1. Fill a jar about one third with dried petals (fresh flowers must be well dried to avoid mould).
  2. Cover at room temperature with good plant oil (e.g. olive or sunflower) so plant material stays submerged.
  3. Macerate 3–6 weeks in a warm shady spot, shaking occasionally; strain through cloth and store in glass away from light.
