Ingredients

Sesame Oil – 250 Ml
Hibiscus Flowers – 7
Hibiscus Leaves – 16
Phyllanthus Niruri Leaves – a handful
False Daisy – a handful

Instructions

If you are using fresh herbs and leaves, wash them and let it air dry. You can dry it in the shade, or inside your home – just spread it on a towel and place it under the fan. This is just to remove the excess water from the herbs.

You can also use dried herbs if you don’t get fresh herbs and leaves.

Once the herbs are dry, grind them to a fine paste and set aside.

Heat the Sesame Oil and when it is hot, add the ground paste to it. If you are using dry herbs, soak them for a few minutes and grind them to a paste and do the same.

Now simmer and let it sit till the moisture fully evaporates – bubbling and hissing will stop when moisture fully evaporates.

Now, let it cool down and cover it.

After a night, filter using a muslin cloth and squeeze any remaining oil from the cloth and transfer to a sterilized jar.

This oil lasts for 6 months, or more. Make sure the jar is sterilized and you use a spatula or dry hands when removing oil form the jar.
