In order to make peppermint oil, you'll need a fresh clean peppermint plant, a jar with a lid, cheesecloth, and almond oil. The peppermint plant must be submerged in a jar filled with almond oil, and shaken in order for the plant's oil to be released. Replace the plant after twenty four hours, and repeat process completely two more times. Don't forget to use the cheese cloth to separate the oil from the plant before you replace it with a fresher one.
