<h3>You will need:</h3>
<ul>
<li>1 cup St. John’s Wort flower buds</li>
<li>2 cups oil of your choice</li>
<li>Small glass jar with a lid</li>
</ul>
<p>The best time to harvest St. John’s Wort is mid-June or by the end of the month. The buds should have bright yellow color when fully blossomed.

Put them in a small jar with a lid and fill the jar with oil. The kind of oil you’ll use it’s really up to you, but the best oil would be olive or coconut oil, for their great health benefits.</p>
<p>Once the jar is filled with flowers and oil, mix the ingredients well and close the lid. Find a good sunny spot and place it there. Make sure it gets enough sunlight every day for great solar infusion process.
