Herbal Oil Infusions
:- Place the sticky buds in a bag, then use a rolling pin or even a hammer to bruise and partial crush them.
- Cover with olive oil and apply a steady heat to infuse. You really can't infuse popular buds for too long, I get the best results by applying very low, direct heat for 2 - 3 weeks.
- Filter and bottle for use. Balm of Gilead oil makes a great base for salves when thickened with beeswax.
