Ingredients
2–3 medium red or white onions
½ cup coconut oil (or olive oil for lighter texture)
1 tablespoon castor oil (optional, for thickness)
A few drops of essential oil (rosemary or lavender to mask odor)
Method 1: Quick Infusion
Peel and finely chop onions.
Heat coconut oil in a pan on low flame.
Add onions and stir until golden brown.
Cool, strain through a muslin cloth, and store in a glass bottle.
Method 2: Cold Pressed (Milder Smell, More Potent)
Blend onions into a paste.
Mix with coconut oil in a sealed jar.
Let it sit for 24–48 hours.
Strain and transfer to a dark bottle.
Storage tip: Keep in a cool, dark place. Use within 3–4 weeks.
