How to make the vanilla infused oil
Vanilla infused oil for lip gloss
a glass small bottle
1/2 cup with sweet almond oil
1 vanilla bean
Run the tip of a sharp knife down the length of the
vanilla bean to reveal all those minute seeds and pop the whole
vanilla bean (or cut in half to fit the bottle) into the glass
bottle. Close and give the bottle a gentle shake which will release
some of the seeds into the oil.
Store the bottle in a cool dark place for
about a week to two weeks, (depending on the strength of the vanilla
bean used) remembering to give the bottle a gentle shake every other
day to help with the infusing process.
