Mullein Flowers Cold Pressed Oil
The whole mullein plant is medicinal and excellent for the respiratory system. However, it is worth making a oil with just the flowers as they are an amazing remedy for the ears and skin. The flowers open over a few days, so either store them in the fridge until you have enough, or start the oil and keep adding as they open.
Ingredients
Mullein flowers (Verbascum thapsus)
Olive oil
Fill a glass jar with fresh, mullein flowers and top up with olive oil.

Strain the oil and discard the flowers
