Herbs and plants in general often contain (essential) oils or resins that are useful. These can be extracted directly into oil and fat. Like that, they can be used for applications in the kitchen, for home-made skin products or a multitude of other uses. This form of extraction may not yield the most concentrated product, but it is easier and can be done with simple kitchen equipment.

Important: If you store the fat in a bag with still some moisture, expect mold. Don't let it happen, so either freeze it or portionalize the product as shown.
