Oil infusion is a process where herbs, spices, or other botanicals are steeped in a carrier oil, allowing the flavors and beneficial properties to be extracted. This method is commonly used in cooking, skincare, and herbal remedies. The oil absorbs the essence of the infused ingredients, creating a flavorful or therapeutic product. The infusion can be done using various oils, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil, depending on the desired outcome. The process typically involves gently heating the oil with the chosen ingredients for a period of time, ensuring that the heat does not damage the delicate compounds being extracted.
