Let mixture simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off heat, cover and let steep for 2-2½ hours. Strain oil and place in glass jar. This recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of infused oil. The remaining oil can be stored for use in other projects.

(We recommend using a mask when working with lathanol powder. It is a very fine powder and becomes airborne very quickly.)
Add Lathanol Powder, one tablespoon at a time, and whisk vigorously until dissolved.

Add 10-15 drops of green liquid color and stir to evenly distribute.
