Extraction guide on removing menthol and lavender oil. 3.0 (Simplified)

Materials:

Extraction vessel

refrigerator

Benzedrex

Scissors (optional)

extra virgin olive oil

Acidic solution (lemon juice, simply lemonade)

THE EXTRACTION:

Step 1: Cut up your cotton and place it into the extraction vessel.

Step 2: Add your acidic substance. (Lemon juice, lemonade)

Step 3: Let it soak for an extended period of time, shaking as often as you'd like.

Step 4: Wring out cotton and remove from solution.

Step 5: Add EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL and shake the extraction vessel to get it thoroughly mixed.

Step 6: Let the layers separate.

Step 7: refrigerate until olive oil becomes solid.

Step 8: Once olive oil is solid, poke two holes in it and pour the acidic juice into a new cup. the hardened olive oil now contains the lavender and mint oils.

Step 9: Repeat steps 5-8 for extra purity, or consume the solution and speed away!
