Rating: 4.6/5(45)
Estimated Reading Time: 9 minsServings: 4Total Time: 24 hrs 30 mins1. Place comfrey in a pint mason jar and cover with a carrier oil (like olive oil). Be sure to cover the herb material by at least an inch, and stir to remove air bubbles.
2. For the fast infusion method, which is required for fresh herbs, place the jar in a double boiler or crockpot with water. Turn it on very low, and gently heat the mixture keeping it under 140 degrees. Allow the herbs to infuse in the warm oil for 24 hours before straining. (Can be used with fresh or dried herbs.)
3. For the slower infusion method (only with dried herbs), allow the herbs to infuse at room temperature for 2-6 weeks before straining.
4. Measure the strained herb-infused oil. You should have roughly 8 ounces of oil. For every 8 ounces of oil, add 1-ounce beeswax (by weight).

Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins1. Make an infusion with the olive oil and dried herbs.
2. There are a couple of ways to do this: I use a small crockpot (that I picked up at a thrift store for $2.00!) and “cook” the leaves and herbs for about 3 hours. You can also mix the herbs and oil and let it sit on the counter in a covered jar for 2-3 weeks.
3. Strain the hot, infused oil through a fine mesh cheesecloth, into a pint size mason jar.
4. Add the beeswax pastilles and stir until melted. (I use a wooden skewer that is disposable)
