    some of the flavor of the lemongrass will mix with the water

      There is the distillation method, but this one requires the use of a chamber where the lemongrass is heated and then another chamber cools it off and the oil is collected. The distillation method produces essential oil which is more concentrated but it is a technical process and not a homemade method.

      If you blend it, it may release water into the oil

      Castor Oil is the best for hair, ask for the sulphur free ones.

    Is this oil can apply directly to the skin?

    • @OnyxFoodHill
      @OnyxFoodHill  3 года назад +1

      Yes, since you want to use it on your skin, do the extraction with coconut oil, sweet almond oil or jojoba oil, these are mild on the skin.
