Homemade Lemon Oil
When lemons are plentiful, make up a couple of batches for some homemade lemon oil for some straight-from-the-heart gift giving.
Such an innovative, inexpensive, multi-purpose product and easy project - you'll love it.
Supplies:
Approx 15 lemons
Peeler
Vegetable oil
Crockpot
Muslin or other cloth strainer
Bottles
Method
Peel about 15 lemons, trying to take at least pith as possible.
Put peelings into crock pot.
Cover with two or three cups of vegetable oil.
Cook on low four hours.
Strain oil through muslin.
Bottle.
Other
I used a couple of clear booze bottles - save the bottle tops and paint them.
Decorate the bottle with your own label and a length of ribbon.
Leftover Lemons:
Cut off the tops and tails. Chop them into quarters. Pop them in a plastic bag to freeze them for later use.
You can use this Lemon Oil as a base for cosmetic and cleaning products.
