the_amber_woods Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'm testing this out! Anyone else ever do this? What did you do with the oil when it was ready? I'm excited LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Sweet Almond Oil infused with vanilla beans sounds awesome. Keep us posted. Gosh, you could make lotion, bath bombs or soap with it as one of your oils and I bet it would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_amber_woods Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'm hoping so! I'm not sure how long to infuse them, but I figure a week, then I'll heat it back up a bit and add a few more beans, and let sit for another few weeks!

Sherie Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Did you split the beans? Keep us posted! I am so wanting to try this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edensong Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 You might want to try infusing the beans in another oil that has a longer shelf life, Amber. SAO is a good oil, but others have a longer shelf life.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_amber_woods Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yes I did split the beans Can anyone suggest a better oil? Or could I perhaps add in something to extend the life of the oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Vitamin E or ROE will help extend the life of the oil, also keeping it in the fridge will help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_amber_woods Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Thanks everyone! I'll add some Vit E to the oil I've already got going and look into some fractionated coconut oil when I order supplies next!Any suggestions on ration of oil to Vit E?

Sara Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I'm not sure how long you infuse either. I had some information I printed out but can't seem to locate it I'd love to infuse some vanilla beans. Here's some info on infusions.
