Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup freshly ground coffee beans (use organic if possible)
- 1 cup carrier oil (like sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, or coconut oil)
- Optional: A few drops of vitamin E oil (for added skin benefits)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Coffee and Oil Mixture:
- Place the coffee grounds in a clean, dry glass jar.
- Pour the carrier oil over the coffee until it is fully submerged. Stir gently to combine.

Infuse the Oil:
- Method 1: Cold Infusion (Best for preserving nutrients):
- Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks. Shake the jar gently every couple of days to help the infusion process.
- Method 2: Heat Infusion (Quicker but may lose some nutrients):
- Place the jar in a pot of warm water (double boiler method) on low heat for 1-2 hours. Avoid overheating to preserve the oil's benefits.
