  Take a bowl and place the piece of muslin on it. Now, pour the oil on the muslin so that it may gather all the unnecessary material on it and transfer the filtered oil in the bowl.

  Now, pour the filtered oil back into the jar and again add some fresh flowers to get the aroma of your choice. Place the jar near a windowsill where there is reasonable sunshine. If you don’t get the desired aroma, you can add more flowers to the oil.

  Take a saucepan and pour some cold water in it. Place the jar in the pan and start to heat it gradually. You don’t have to boil the water, just make it hand-hot. Maintain the same temperature for around ten minutes and remove the jar from the pan. You have to repeat the procedure for at least once a day, if you live in cold region.

  You can store your oil in a dark glass bottle. Pour the oil carefully in the bottle so that it may not pop out. In addition, you can store the oil for around six to twelve months in a cool and dark place.
