How To Make Clove Oil at Home – SIMPLY & EASILY

Ingredients and Supplies

  • Whole cloves: 1 cup
  • Carrier oil: 1 cup
  • Double boiler or saucepan: For heating
  • Strainer or cheesecloth: For filtering the oil
  • Dark glass bottle: For storage

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cloves:
    • Lightly crush the whole cloves to help release their essential oils.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Double Boiler:
    • In a double boiler or a saucepan, combine the crushed cloves and the carrier oil.
  3. Heat the Mixture:
    • Heat the mixture over low heat for 1-2 hours. Make sure not to boil the oil, as high temperatures can degrade its quality. Stir occasionally to prevent the cloves from sticking to the bottom.
  4. Cool and Strain:
    • After heating, allow the oil to cool slightly. Use a strainer or cheesecloth to filter out the cloves from the oil, squeezing the cheesecloth to extract more oil.
  5. Store the Clove Oil:
    • Pour the strained oil into a dark glass bottle for storage. Label the bottle with the date and contents.

Usage and Benefits of Clove Oil

  • Aromatherapy: Use clove oil in a diffuser to enjoy its warm, spicy aroma.
  • Skincare: Dilute clove oil with a carrier oil and apply it to the skin for its antibacterial properties.
  • Cooking: Add a few drops to recipes for a hint of clove flavor (use sparingly).

Safety Precautions

  • Always perform a patch test before applying clove oil to the skin to check for any allergic reactions.
  • Use clove oil in moderation, as it is highly concentrated.

Making clove oil at home is an easy and rewarding process that allows you to harness the benefits of this powerful spice. Whether you choose the cold infusion or heat infusion method, you’ll have a natural, homemade oil to use for aromatherapy, skincare, or culinary purposes.
