How to make an infused oil

1) Pick an herb you would like to use to make your balm (such as lemon balm)

2) Pick one third of the leafs off of your herb plant, so as not to kill it.

3) Pick the leafs off of the stems.

4) Roll some of the leafs in your hand (or bruise them)

5) As soon as you have bruised the leafs, you may stick them in a glass bottle. (Preferably a dark bottle)

6) Once you have all the bruised leafs in the glass bottle, fill up the bottle about one third of the way with olive oil.

7) Leave this mixture of oil and herb in the bottle for about a week.

8) Results: By the end you should have a infused oil with the scent and taste of your herb of choice.
