Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Sand for Straw - Make a Mullein Leaf Infused Oil BB.

I harvested Mullein Leaves and made an infused oil at Wheaton Labs during the PTJ 2021.  I originally submitted it before straining the mullein leaves out.  I put it in a crockpot-style heater for 24 hours then strained the oil.  Now it is ready to be used.  

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
- picture of the mullein leaf being harvested
- picture of the infused oil being made
- picture of the finished infused oil in its labeled jar

I harvested and air dried mullein leaves over the summer. Then I crushed the dried leaves, submerged it in 100g of EVOO, and baked at 180degF for 12 hours. I then strained the oil into a labeled jar.
