                TOOLS ::::

            DIRECTIONS ::::

STEP 1

            Wash and grate your carrots directly into the pot ( we can't afford to waste )

 

STEP 2

            Pour in enough olive oil, making sure the oil covers the grated carrots.

STEP 3 

            Add your ginger, aloe Vera ( they enhance the smell) and 5 caps full of castor oil

STEP 4

            Set your pot on the stove and let it cook on the lowest heat possible.

STEP 5

             Cook till, the oil begins to turn orange ( doesn't have to ) and the grated carrots tender

STEP 6

             Turn off the burner and let the oil cool!

STEP 7

             Put the pot in the fridge for few days or just cover the pot overnight.This is to let the oil take in as much "nutrients " as it can.

STEP 8

            Warm your oil the second time,this is to relax the oil

STEP 9

            Let it cool and then sieve into a container.

NB :::

           You could squeeze the tender shredded carrots, to get out any oil that might be left.

            Please do refrigerate
