Slightly crush the cloves using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon to help release their natural oils.

Place the crushed cloves into a clean, dry glass jar.

Add your chosen carrier oil until the cloves are fully submerged. Stir gently with a clean spoon.

Seal the jar tightly and store it in a warm, dark place for 7 to 10 days. Shake the jar once daily to keep the cloves moving and encourage infusion.

After 7 to 10 days, strain the oil through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Pour the finished oil into a small amber bottle to protect it from light and extend its shelf life.
