How to craft masterful MCT oil with Your ALTA1

Welcome, #altafam, to a journey into the world of powerful and personalized wellness! Today, we'll unlock the secrets of crafting your own potent MCT oil, infused with the botanical magic of your choice. With your ALTA1 by your side, this process is as simple as it is satisfying – let's dive in!

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Wait Time: 80-100 minutes

 

Ingredients

  • 14g (up to 30g for experienced users) of your chosen herb, finely ground.
  • 2 cups (500ml) high-quality MCT oil.

Equipment

  • Your trusty ALTA1 herb infusion machine.
  • A strainer.
  • Airtight storage container (mason jar, dark glass bottle, etc.).

Step 1: Dry or Activate Your Herbs

  • Fill your ALTA 1's kettle with your chosen herb (remember, 14g for beginners, up to 30g for advanced users).
  • If using fresh herbs, start with the “Dry" cycle. For flowers, select the "Activate" cycle instead of the "Dry" cycle.
  • This crucial step unlocks the active compounds within your herbs, ensuring maximum potency in your final infusion

Step 2: Infuse into Your MCT Oil

  • Once the cycle finishes, measure and pour your MCT oil into the kettle. If you're sensitive to the activated aroma, keeping the lid slightly open can soften the experience.
  • If you have 17-19oz of oil in the kettle, choose the "Altafuse" cycle and set the timing of 50-60 minutes. Sit back, relax, and let the ALTA 1's ultrasonic technology work its magic, gently extracting the essence of your chosen herb into the oil.
  • For smaller batches (less than 17 oz), select the "Infuse" cycle instead. Refer to the time and temperature calculator in our  Recipe Ebook for precise settings

Step 3: Strain and Store Your Masterpiece

  • After the infusion cycle, carefully strain the infused oil through the strainer into your chosen storage container. Discard the spent herbs (composting is optional!).
  • Label your container with the herb used and date of infusion. Store in a cool, dark place and your masterpiece will be ready to elevate your culinary creations and wellness routines for up to 6 months.

Tip & Tricks

  • Experiment with different herbs and adjust the quantities to find your perfect infusion flavor and strength.
  • Consider adding other delicious ingredients like cinnamon sticks, vanilla beans, or citrus peels during the infusion for additional layers of flavor.
  • Don't forget to share your infused creations with the #altafam! We love seeing your culinary and wellness masterpieces come to life.
