You will need:
- 100 g organic lemon peel
- 100 ml high-quality extra virgin olive oil
Step 1: Wash and peel the lemons
Rinse the lemons thoroughly and grate the peel carefully, avoiding the bitter white pith.
Step 2: Fill a glass jar
Place the grated lemon peel into a clean, dry glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Step 3: Add the olive oil
Pour the olive oil over the peels until they are fully covered, ensuring no air bubbles remain.
Step 4: Store and infuse
Seal the jar and keep it in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks. Over this time, the oil will absorb the beneficial compounds from the lemon peel.
Final Thoughts
Lemon peel infused in olive oil is a timeless natural preparation that continues to be valued for its ability to support energy, mood, and skin health. While it is simple to make at home and safe for most people, it is always best to consult a healthcare professional before using it as part of any regular wellness routine.
