My grandmother's secrets

Calendula oil

This oil has always been a grandmother. It's great for bug bites, stings, cuts, burns.

2 tablespoons dried calendula flowers & petals 16 tablespoons olive oil - any brand, clear.

In an old pot or pan place the calendula flowers and cover with the olive oil. Using the double boiler method, simmer for an hour. Repeat once or twice a day for 3 days. Let cool completely and strain the infused oil through cheesecloth. Collect the infused oil and store it in an amber or dark bottle, in a cool place.
