Author: Altafuse
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.
