[shelah]

good morning everyone!
has anyone here tried using essential oils in any recipes -- i mean food recipes?
gabriel cousens has a few interesting ideas in his book, but i wanted some tried and true recommendations from our own experts! :D
many blessings to all!

I haven't tried it, but Cousens' recipes look interesting and yummy.

yes, i've used peppermint essential oil to make chocolate mint ice cream that came out delicious. just a couple of drops r needed for a lot of flavor.
i've also just had essential oil in water which is refreshing

essential oils can be highly toxic, depending on the type, so please be very careful when doing this. also essential oils are fragrances, NOT flavorings, so they may or may not give you the desired taste that you want.


I difuse my essential oils, or use them in lotions and creams and on my hair, and skin, and in my bath, and I have consumed many of them, I also breath them, they are excellent for many health benefits.
