Homemade Orange essential oil





When I saw in Pinterest that you could do your own essential oil I had to try it.
I decided to make orange essential oil.

Ok this is easy, just rhe way I like it!
1. Eat oranges
2. Save the peels and tear them into smaler pieces
3. Lay pieces on a cookie sheet or paper towel and let them dry until hard, more or less 2 days
4. Cut the pieces into samler bits in your food processor or Bimby
5. Put the bits in a glass jar with a lid and cover with warm vodka, not hot
6. Shake the jar several times a day for several days, at least 3 days
7. Use a coffee filter to strain the liquid from the peels and squeeze any excess liquid out of the filter
8. Allow the alcool to evaporate, for at least one week
9. What you have left in the jar is your essential oil
10. Use a dark colored jar to keep sunlight from degrading the essential oil

Congrats!
You just made your first batch of essential oil.
