Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours

Equipment

  • 1 LEVO Machine OR a Double Boiler
  • 1 4oz Dropper Bottle
  • 1 Small Funnel
  • 1 Fine Mesh Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 3 TBSP Fresh Garlic chopped
  • 3 TBSP Dried Mullein
  • 4 oz Olive Oil to cover

Instructions
 

  • Chop the fresh garlic cloves finely and measure out 3 tablespoons.
  • Measure out 3 tablespoons of dried mullein flowers.

  • Double Boiler Method

    Fill the bottom pot of the double boiler with about 2 inches of water. Place the top pot or a heat-safe glass bowl over the bottom pot. Pour the olive oil into the top pot or bowl. Add the chopped garlic and mullein flowers to the oil. Gently heat the mixture on low heat. Ensure the water in the bottom pot does not touch the bottom of the top pot or bowl. Maintain a low heat and let the oil infuse for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure an even infusion and prevent the herbs from sticking to the bottom. After 2 hours, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Place a cheesecloth or fine strainer over a clean, dry bowl. Pour the infused oil through the cheesecloth to strain out the garlic and mullein flowers. Squeeze the cheesecloth to extract as much oil as possible.

  • LEVO Method

    Add the chopped garlic and mullein flowers into the herb pod of the LEVO. Place the herb pod into the LEVO machine. Put the machine on the activate setting at the lowest temperature possible (200F). Once activation is complete, pour the olive oil into the reservoir of the LEVO machine. Set the temperature to 160°F (70°C) and the time for 3-4 hours. Start the machine and let it infuse the oil with the herbs. Once the infusion process is complete, the LEVO machine will automatically strain the oil when you dispense into your dropper bottle.

Notes

Garlic Mullein ear oil is best used fresh at body temperature. To use, warm in a glass cup of hot water for a few minutes. For kids 10 and under, use 2 drops, 2-3 times per day. Over the age of 10, use 2-3 drops, 2-3 times per day. Try to lay on your side to let it soak in. You should have a towel on hand as if it drips out, it may cause oil stains on clothing.
