Ingredients
- 1 large red onion (or 2 small ones) 🧅
- 100 ml coconut oil (or olive/castor oil) 🥥
- 5–10 drops of essential oil (lavender, peppermint, or rosemary, optional) 🌱
Instructions
- Prep the Onion: Peel and finely chop the onion into small pieces for easy blending. 🥄
- Extract Juice: Blend the onion in a blender or juicer to extract its juice. Alternatively, crush it with a mortar and pestle to release the pulp. 🌀
- Heat the Oil: In a small pan, warm the coconut oil over low heat. Add the onion juice or pulp and simmer for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. 🔥
- Strain: Let the mixture cool, then strain it through a fine sieve or muslin cloth into a clean, dry bottle. 🌬️
- Store: Keep the oil in a cool, dry place and use within two weeks for maximum potency. 📦
