What do we need?
50 gr of dried lavender.
500 ml of sunflower or olive oil
a big clean glass jar
a nice sunny and warm spot
Put the dried lavender into the clean glass jar. (find more info on keeping things clean and hygienic here)
Poor the oil over the lavender, this isn't exact science, you might need a little more or less than the 500 ml, just make sure the buds are covered in oil.
Now place the jar in a warm and sunny place. Preferably on a window sil or something (if there's a heater nearby that's even more perfect) Keep it there for about 4 weeks, and stir the mixture every day.
After those 4 weeks you take some cheese cloth or a fine strainer to separate the flowers from the oil and you will have some very very nice smelling lavender oil. Lavender is great for your skin and the smell is calming. I really really enjoyed making this, if you want to try making your own oil I highly recommend it. The smell is just so amazing. You will not regret it.
