Bruise the flowers in the jar with a wooden spoon and THEN add grapeseed oil. Put the jar in a sunny window, make sure all of the flowers are below the surface of the oil and cover with a paper towel, cheese cloth and a rubber band. I leave these flowers in the sun for 3 weeks. This is how I make infusions. And yes, everyone, this is a an infusion, not an essential oil.

[@samsquanch5625]

Monica Clark yes, this is an infusion, not an essential oil. so her comparison to a bottle of now essential is not really viable.

[@paulacassidy9993]

This is NOT an essential oil, it's a natural infusion. But I love your nail polish, and infused oil has a lot of uses, as you mentioned.

[@Kokedera]

I'm sure this is a very nice scented oil, but it's not an essential oil. Essential oils aren't made with infusion but typically through some kind of destillation process. Essential oils don't contain grapeseed oil, just the substances from the flowers/plants.

[@kimberlyseymour7999]

You are making an Infused oil NOT an essential oil. I enjoyed the video but as an Clinical Aromatherapist it would be nice to change the name of the video as to not confuse viewers.

[@RadiantSilverlighter]

Kimberly Seymour She didn’t change the name. I’m so confused now.

[@crystlelee7627]

I agree she doesnt understand the difference between infused and essential

[@jessicajimenez9870]

@@RadiantSilverlighter 😆😆😆

[@julieguillaume6087]

She did say while at the stove that it was an infused oil, so she knows!

[@paulacassidy9993]

And yes, it's possible to make infused oils with lots of different flowers and herbs, many of which do not yield true essential oils.

[@mascottwiebe1]

I'm Drying the flowers in cardboard to remove moisture, then I'll try this procedure in the middle of a cold Canadian winter. Thank You Keila, you are lovely.

[@renmuffett]

Not actually essential oil. This is infused which is just scented oil. But I do not care, as long as it smells like real lilacs. But I've never found anything that smells like fresh lilacs. The essential does exist, but is very hard to find and when you do its way over $100.00 for 0.5 tiny jar.

[@PositiveDeviantPerson]

Grape seed oil smells good. She could have said it adds the best smell with the lilac. Grape seed has a significant smell.

[@sarisx8606]

To give her some credit- she Does call it an Infusion in the Video-- and she has a bit of an accent- maybe she just worded it wrong...

[@julieguillaume6087]

You are absolutely delightful! I picked lilacs today and can't wait to try making this!! ❤️

[@rebeccahickey8610]

use sunflower oil instead and no cooking

[@janetlarsen8072]

I followed everything to the T perfectly, mine turned out smelling like old shoes and stunk up my home today. Lolol it was worth a shot, just wasn't meant to be for me, good luck everyone with your experiment ♡ I used the correct oil too. It was worth a short tho :)

[@LilyOfTheTower]

Lol me too!!! I was expecting a beautiful scent but it was horrible. Cost me a whole bottle of grapeseed oils :( I'm positive the heat is important to not get too hot. I'm going to try the covered jar in a sunny window method this year.

[@sniknik1]

I tried this and it didn't turn out. I did everything exactly like mentioned but my lilac infused oil smelled like cooked vegetables. Did i do something wrong?

[@deborahjones6618]

sniknik1 Same experience! I tried this recipe and followed it to the "T" and I ended up wasting my money on grape oil ($14.00 for 2 8oz bottles) and it smells like plants cooking and no scent at all in the oil. Wasted 6 hrs besides. These flowers were extremely fragrant!! Sorry, crappy recipe here people.

[@MadebyMe3]

sniknik1 Same issue here Very upset with wasting the oil , time , money and lilacs

[@4handfuls]

sniknik1 I had the same issue! I spent my entire Saturday picking, stripping flowers and cooking at 170 in my oven and it smells like poo...they were such fragrant flowers too...makes me very angry I wasted my time, oil & money with this is a crap video.

[@stef2432]

I am wondering how it is possible to leave flowers in hot oil for 5 hours without frying them...

[@claredesiree7601]

yes i think it is too long to cook them, im going to try again for lesser time. there was a point where they smelled really really good but then cooked for too long i guess.

[@etyrnal]

if this hits for 5 hours don't you lose a lot of the essential oils into the air if the pan is going to be bleeding off fragrance for hours and hours?

[@istvaneck4131]

I made everithing how you told me on the video but on the end is no lilac smell.I had to take to the garabage.

[@cassandrafisher2437]

I have been making lilac water

[@a.k.7860]

Approximately how many cups of lilac for this infusion?

[@reneeb9571]

BEAUTIFULLY Made❤

[@ramayadadevine1875]

Great tutorial!! Can I put this beautiful oil in diy candles?

[@bugururu]

Olá Keila! Amei os seus vídeos - obrigada por compartilhar! Eu infelizmente não cultivo flores por morar em apartamento, mas me interessei em fazer o óleo a partir de cravo e canela. Você diria que o tempo de cocção é o mesmo tempo usado para fazer óleo de flores? Obrigada!

[@mylissacoolbreeze4550]

Don't waste your money, time, or flowers on this nasty process, the flowers and oil heated like this turns to some kind of terrible smell

[@LindiMoo]

Great video! Does it smell very much like lilac or does cooking it wash out most of the smell?

[@RougeBloodfire]

This is lilac infused oil. Not lilac essential oil.

[@balkansavage]

Nice 👌Did you use rafined grapeseed oil or non-refined? Does it needs to be cold pressed or not? 🙂

[@TheMossey2003]

love Lilacs thanks for sharing this with us.

[@deberinaemelander9371]

Thank You So Much for sharing! Our lilacs are in bloom right now, so I want to really get going on this! :-)

[@jeanneslauter3350]

can you cook it in a crock pot?

[@acepackandship6277]

your back yard is beautiful

[@akashaofthenile6077]

that isn't essential oil..but a great alternative to an essential oil

[@ZeroPointZap]

This is an infusion, not essential oil. Big difference...

[@user-jz1zv2nd2c]

so oil infused not essential oil

[@agriculturetips1779]

Hi,you are making infuse oil not essential oil,Essential oil must be extract from the flowers without anything added by distillation process. So Don't confused the Viewers. Pls change your video thumnail

[@HippytheHippo1]

Can I cook same recipe in a crock pot?

[@kristinawilhelm4338]

What's the difference between essential and infused oil?

[@lendalennuk2484]

Very appropriate question here :)

[@lisakiraly7227]

This was a great video! Thank you so much!

[@aslammeethal3876]

Good information thank you

[@kookingkorner]

Can I use evoo?

[@MadebyMe3]

The lilac oil smells like fried green tomatoes :( I followed all your directions except that I used olive oil instead and had the oven set at 190 for 6 hrs. Why is it not smelling like lilacs??? Is it the oil? I feel as if I have wasted so much oil and lilacs now......

[@anadivina4904]

Andrew DeGeer you used olive oil. she specifically says to use grape seed which doesn't smell like anything.

[@mylissacoolbreeze4550]

I used grapeseed oil and it was baaad

[@michellemichelle4164]

Good video.

[@wrathofcell]

I love this video and you are a very pretty lady, sorry for all the idiot comments on the video here. Im gonna try this later! thank you!

Please share - did you succeeded to brew your heavenly-smelling infusion?

[@onangelswings6864]

Thank you💜

[@lizgiles952]

What you are making and what you are comparing it to (real essential oil) is like comparing fine wine to grape juice. Not the same items.

[@TakeUsHomeYeshua]

Wow thank you :)

[@chesirecat1088]

This was the worst DIY-experience I ever had and I really wonder if the poster has any sense of smell. I wasted the grapeseed-oil like all the others and the finished "product" smelled like grilled Zuchini/tomato. I have not the slightest idea why someone would burden their karma with keeping something like this posted. After wasting the grapeseed-oil (and much to much of it) I used a cheaper cornbased-oil for the infusion. I guess any less fragrant kitchenoil should do. I put the oil in a pot, put stones on it to keep the blossoms under the surface of the oil and let it stand in about 20°C for 7/8 weeks with just the regular lid of the pot on. I strained the oil first with a sieve and then with a double-coffeefilter. There is still a little cloudy residue but I´ll let it set in the closed bottle now for a while and then just use the clear part. The Oil smells very good and fragrant. May you would like to try it out this way for once, Keila?

[@mylissacoolbreeze4550]

Me too! what a stink, and I wasted a lot of flowers

[@saraswinerton7202]

There is no such thing as lilac essential oil!

Dear woman, this is NOT an essential oil....you're infusing but not extracting the lilac oil, please do not mis inform people..there is enough misinformation out there.
