and cover with lid. Keep the lid on the the oil and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon and bring the oil to a simmer for 30 minutes. Watch the oil does not get to hot.
(If it should not smoke or bubble, It can burn easily and will develope a acrid smell if it over heats.) Once the Oil has simmered for 30 minutes pull the pot off the heat and
let cool to a room tempature before you strain (If you try to drain it hot you will get burned) Once the oil has cooled off where you can handle it. place coffee filters/Paper
towels in a straining position around the bowl and slowly pour the oil to strain the potpourri from the oil. (you may have to strain it twice.) Once you have the oil seperated
from the potpourri pour the oil in the jar or ceramic container to store for use.
