Making Lavender Infused Oil at Danu's Irish Herb Garden 

So happy I found this video! Especially thrilled this comes from Ireland! I just returned from my first visit to your wonderful country the end of September! I so fell it love and was sad to leave! My fathers family immigrated from Ireland in 1883 and my dream has always been to visit! Upon arriving I instantly felt a connection and being home now for a bit over a month I can’t let it out of my mind! Everything about Ireland is how I feel deep inside me! I hate the way the US uses so many bad chemicals in everything that is available! They are trying to kill us! Anyways, I have some lavender in my herb garden that brought me to this video and so appreciate you tutorial on how to make this beautiful lavender oil! Now off I go to harvest and get this made! Slainte and God bless! 💚🇮🇪

I am in love with your recipes! Just made this with home grown rosemary and plan on letting it sit for 6 weeks. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom ❤️

Wow I have lots of lavender in my garden , I am going to make this..thank you.

Besides oil you can make extract using vodka. I boil the vodka first to cook off the alcohol and let it cool and then add spices to it. I shake it every couple of days. Lavender is one of my favorite spices.

I can smell the lavender ❤️❤️❤️ so incredibly beautiful!

Ty so much for this video! I’m sooo lucky to have found you! You are wealth of information and your tutorials are great! Ty for sharing

Thanks, Terri. I shall try this as soon as the Lavender blooms. X

Thank you Terri. Will do this when my Lavender blooms in a few weeks . Lovely video.

love this! thank you very very much

I love lavender and you have demonstrated a good way to use it after season. I love your presentation. thank you so much.

TRUTH EXACTLY thank you for sharing this incredible story God bless you

I love your videos! This one is so welcome and inspiring. I will be making some infused oil later today thanks to your instructions. Happy Herb Week! Blessings to you!

How wonderful! Thank you for the recipe. I'm gonna do that with my lavender when it will be blossoming. I love the smell of it! 💟

Absolutely LOVE the herbal tea book! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Terri for sharing this beautiful oil with us , I have made everything so far that you have shared with us . So when my lavender is in bloom I will make this one also . I love the garlic oil , always have one that I’m using and one in the.cupboard infusing . Blessings xx

Thank You so much. I'm passing this to friends and my sister

Wow! I like the place you live. Thank you for sharing.

Nice video lavender is great for relaxation. They have an earl grey tea with lavender. 👌the oil is nice for a scent. I’ve made oil in a crockpot on low for hrs . They make lavender icing on cupcakes yum.. very good herb

I have been so very inspired first by your videos and then your book. I currently have 6 different tinctures curing in my pantry closet. Bless you and thank you. 😊

I enjoyed this wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your expertise on making lavender-infused oil.

Thank you! A lovely lesson.

Wonderful lesson! Thankyou so much 🌞

So simple, and brilliant! :)

Hello♡I became a part of your RU-vid family!I absolutely loved watching.

Thank you for your video.🙏🏻

I love your Idea, Thank you for sharing

Lovely oil, I might try this with some of my lavender coming into bloom. I'd like to use the oil to make lotion :)

I'll have to try this, I've only done calendula infused oil. When we get settled in our new house I can't wait to try making soap from your video I saw a few weeks ago!

I can hardly wait for harvest in the fall. Looking forward to planting soon. June 1 close to my birthday can i do course on line? What a grand idea!!!

I wish I lived in Ireland, would love to attend your workshops. Blessings to you from a crone in the US

Hello just found your lovely channel...So I'm a new Subbie. I'll be binge watching All of your videos Today 🤗

Blessings to you; your videos are just so wonderful ! I often use the cc option because there is quite a bit of noise in my household and I can't always hear correctly, even with the volume way up. I wanted to know whether there is anyone doing the editing of those translations, because, let me tell you, the subtitles can range between the absurd to the completely incoherent. Here, for example, I saw the word "lavender" turn into a somewhat baffling "Love and dirt." "Expert assistance" became "expert what a distance," and, my favorite, "a bain-marie" transformed into "a ban Murray." My conclusion is that the subtitles must be written by a program; it is not a huge problem, and at times it's given me a few giggles, but I can't help wondering whether it might be frustrating for people who can't hear at all or those just learning English.

thank u I will try it out

Woo beautiful. thanks

Oooh yes is this oil safe for oral medicine? I have been using lavender consistently for about a year or more for severe C-PTSD and stress related fatigue and pain, I’ve been using lavender and another herb that goes very well with it Decarboxylated (pre heated) to make oil that behave a lot like to CBD oils I’ve tried, has been really beneficial in relation to eating it dry and heated, the effects are really smooth and stay really balanced for about 12 hours, I use on cup herb per one cup oil, I have been trying full spectrum use of herbs (both decarboxylated and dry, if I had the fresh whole plant I would’ve been happy to try that out too.).I just realized while watching this that I’ve been shying away from stating my intentions clearly, I am going to try this out. I have noticed the way you stated your intent, it so clearly stated and it makes so much sense. somehow it haven’t thought of saying my intent that clearly, I’ve been just singing verses that corresponded with my intent- without stating my intention out loud, that makes sense. I am a 21 years old so I am excited for this new bits of knowledge. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video! Have a happy weekend!

v informative thank you!

Hello Terry, Thanks for the inspiration. My lavender is presently ready for harvesting , I will make this oil tomorrow. Lavender is one of my favorite herbs. I have a light lavender and a dark blue flowered one . Are both safe for culinary use ? Many blessings to you.

I love your channel, so informative, so pure, I have alot of dried lavender from the garden, will dry make a good oil too? Xoxoxo, I would like to share this video on my Facebook page, but only with your permission, Happy Gardening!

Hi Terri! Could I use just the leaves as my flowers have since bloomed. Love your wonderful videos.❤️ Would love to see a video to make a spray for thinning hair. Thank you. Blessings🙏🏼

Thank you

❤❤❤

Can I do this with fresh mint?

Is there an herb that helps gout and psoriasis?

Wow cool. You can put the oil in before drying the herb?

Thank you for the wonderful demo video as well I love your cute pup on the background. Can you use dried lavender flowers to make infused oil? I know that it's best to use freshly picked flowers, but what about if they were already dried including the stems?

The lavender in the polytunnel is magnificent!💜💜! I'm going to make some lavender oil and then follow your instructions to make soap. I always use homemade soap but have never made my own. I think it's time. I also appreciate gifting bundles of lavender buds to the garden as a thank you. 💜

Lovely. I don’t see any videos on soap making as mentioned in the vid.

hello I love this video and your voice, just wondering will it take 6 weeks here in Texas? It's very hot here next to my window

Wonderful! I bet that would be amazing in a warm bath. Thank you for sharing!

Each year I want to do something like that and then I see how the bees 🐝 🐝 are enjoying the blossoms than I leave it to them. This year I took lots of cuttings and propagated lavender so that next year I can get my share as well 😉 Probably there will be more bees 🐝 🐝 and I think the same as every year 🤣

love watching you, about the lavender oil you could also put a little of it into cake and biscuit making, couldn't you. kindest regards Lynda from Australia, by the way I was in Connemara a few years ago and i have a lovely pendent with Connemara marble, just love it.

This is a lovely video. Thankyou. How long would oil last for?

I've seen some websites saying you can put a solid lid on if it's fresh herbs, then other sites say you should cover it with fabric so the water in the fresh herbs can evaporate out. Is there a particular lid method that works best so my infusion doesn't spoil?

I have a good quantity of lavender flowers (no stems) that I dried myself; I wonder how much dried material would equal the amount of fresh material that you're using? hmmm...time to experiment! Thank you for the nudge in the right direction!

I love lavender my favourite plant in the garden. Never occurred to me that you can use it for tea. Would you use any part of the plant or just the flowers?

Other videos say you have to dry the lavender for 4 weeks before but you use it straight from the garden not sure what to do

Thank you Terri for sharing. I'm going to try this method in the nxt week or two with lavender & rosemary, although I'm a wee bit confused coz some people say dry the herbs before infusing them in oil to prevent them going rancid but I see some people like your good self putting the freshly cut lavender into the jar for oil infusion without drying the lavender. Do you have any pointers about using freshly cut herbs versus dried herbs for oil infusions to prevent rancid issues? Blessings Kit x

Do you shake it to get bugs off first?

I find lavender oil wonderful for relieving restless legs at night xx

Hi Danu's very nice. this oil can i use for my hair because too much hair loss happened

Can you use MCT oil?

Is this oil used for cooking? Don’t know if you have videos making teas, I would love that! 👍🏻

👌👌👌👌

Do you have to wash the lavender? I have Spanish lavender

Thank you very enjoyable & I absolutely adore lavender 💓 & the info about moon being in a fire sign & a good time to make the oil ..lovely 😊

Does it not smell Ike olive oil after 6 weeks?

could you do the infusion the same way with dried lavender? Completely new to herbal use, but really eager to learn😍

Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. How long does the oil last once it's completed?

How long does this oil last before going rancid? Is there a way to keep it from going rancid? Thank you for your lovely video. I can smell the fragrance.

Thank you so much! How long does the lavender-infused oil last?

Could you leave that in the poly tunnel? Would that be warm enough?

Thank you for this video. My lavender is starting to flower, due to the unusually warm winter. The high today will be 65 on Dec 18! I have an odd question. Could I use a slightly rancid Avocado oil? Will the lavender fragrance cancel out the slight rancid smell, or should I just use olive oil? I don't want to throw out the avocado oil but also don't want to use it for cooking. Waste not, want not and all that! Thank you!

Can you do anything after you have your infused oil with the squeezed lavender. Thank you 🙏🏻

How wonderful!!! I have lavender growing in my garden and I will try this...and wanted to mention that I kept 'hearing' in my head...from the crystal kingdom, most likely...to also add a crystal of amethyst to the oil for even more 'gorgeousness'...from beyond the realms...💗💗💗

This is so exciting! Do you strain this after? Or spoon out the oil as you go? (Beginner here 👋🏼)

What’s the trick to growing lavender in a cold climate? I wasn’t able to have any take off this year.

HI do you dry the Lavender first before putting it in the oil? also How do you Dry out Lavender

Lavendar is calming in a tea with Chamomile, Room Refresher, Fragrance, Aromatherapy

Do you cover the jar while it infuses ?

I've only ever seen that they herbs must be completely dried. This is my 1st time to see fresh plants used. Does this create any difference? I would prefer to use fresh, but always heard it's not ok.

Can you explain how you take care the lavender

❤👪❤

I watched this video hoping it would answer some questions I had but now I just have even more questions. haha. I want to make some dandelion oil with avocado oil (because allergies) but everywhere I look online, I get different information! I am beyond confused but maybe someone here can help me out? Should I completely fill my jar with dandelions like you did with the lavender? I assume so but some placed online said only like half way full. Does that only effect the strength of it? And what should I do with it once it is filled? Some places say it needs to be in a sunny spot so the warmth will help it infuse but other places say if you put it in the sun it will get moldy so you should put it in a cupboard or something. And then some places say only let it infuse for 2 weeks so it doesn't go bad and other places say for like, up to 6 weeks! I am so sorry for the bombardment, but if anyone happens to have any advice I will gladly and wholeheartedly welcome it. I do not have a lot of dandelions so if I try something and it fails I won't really have enough to try again so I am a bit nervous to just wing it...

Can palm kernel oil be used?

Are you using fresh lavender or dried? sorry, I am not sure

I have a lot of organic hemp oil to make natural soaps. I also have about 10 pounds of organic lavender flowers. Can I soak the lavender flowers in the hemp oil to make lavender soap?

Great video.. but will this not smell of olives?? Scared to try 🙈

May I use it for add to food

So not only flowers but stem and leaves as well ?

Could you use vegetable oil?

Can I infused my oil in a dark place. Not in a warm place?

Can I use dry flowers?

Is coconut oil ok to use

I thought it was necessary to dry the herbs first, so the moisture will not turn the oil ransid.

Shouldn't we be leaving in a cool dry place to infuse slowly over 6-8 weeks? Sun (especially strong sunlight) will ruin the good properties of good cold pressed carrier oils.

I wish I could be around lavender. I'm allergic to the smell of it. :(

So for all the infused oils we need to keep them at warm place ?

What kind of lavender are you using? Is it English lavender?

You need not dry them before infusing? Generally we do this right to avoid mold and fungus

Can I use coconut oil?
