Let's do it...Do It Yourself👉Craft, Creativity, Drawing, origami, DIY, Recycling and more: Making a carrot oil

Hello everyone, good evening from me @destinedhanik from Nigeria to you all. I really appreciate this contest by @mesola because through it, we showcase our creative abilities. So today, I'm gonna show my own creative ability by showing how to make carrot oil from the scratch. We have the cold pressed carrot oil and the hot pressed carrot oil. But I will be showing how to do the cold pressed carrot oil. • Some carrots

•A grater

• A bottle or bottles of olive oil

•Containers to store the carrot oil

• A strainer

• Wash your carrot thoroughly and peel off the bad skin if any.

• Grate it with a grater into smaller pieces

• There is no way carrot won't carry water, so after grating it, press out or sieve out the water from the grated carrot

• Dry the grated carrot under the sun for at least one hour. If there is no sun, you can put it in a frying pan and put it on fire, stirring it. The purpose is for the water to dry up.

• When the carrot is dry or devoid of water, pour it in a container that is not too tight, where you can be stirring it from time to time.

• Pour in your olive oil. The olive oil must be more than the carrot. Then stir it. Let the olive oil soak up the carrot very well.

I poured the carrot into a container and poured in the olive oil

• Leave it there for at least a week but I leave mine for at least two weeks so that the carrot oil can come out very well. Then everyday at at least three days interval, be stirring it so the carrot can soak up the oil very well. You will notice that the olive oil that was yellow will slowly turn to orange. And it is preferable to leave it under the sun or where the sun cab touch it.

• After a week or two, it is time to sieve it. Using a strainer, sieve the carrot and the oil will really come out.

• Pour in a container or bottle and use it.

The final process; Straining out my carrot oil
