Making Lavender Oil

1. Fill jar 1/2 full with dried lavender flours.
2. Pour oil (I prefer olive oil) into jar until 2/3 full.  Stir. Cover tightly and leave the mixture to steep for 2 weeks in a sunny windowsill, shaking every day.
3. Lay a piece of muslin over the bowl and strain the oil. Gather up the muslin and squeeze the material to extract as much as you can.
4. Transfer the oil back into the jar and add fresh flowers. Place on windowsill again. Repeat this process until you obtain the aroma you want.
5. After final straining, pour the oil into a dark glass bottle.
6. Store in a cool, dry, dark place.
