Peppermint-infused oil is one of those simple herbal recipes that instantly feels refreshing, uplifting, and full of purpose. Made by steeping peppermint leaves in olive oil, this infusion captures the cooling, invigorating properties of the plant in a form that’s gentle enough for everyday use.

Peppermint is naturally rich in menthol, a compound that delivers that signature cooling tingle while helping to improve circulation and soothe discomfort. When infused into oil, it becomes a multipurpose remedy for easing headaches, sore muscles, tired feet, and so much more.

It’s simple to make at home, just like our DIY Yarrow Infused Oil, Dandelion Infused Oil, and Goldenrod Infused Oil. Completely natural and easy to customize, peppermint oil is an ideal addition to your herbal toolkit, whether you’re new to DIY remedies or already love making your own.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your own peppermint-infused oil. It’s the perfect base for soothing salves, creams, and other skin care recipes.

Ingredients

Peppermint leaves
Carrier oil (Any carrier oil will work. I used olive oil for this recipe)
Small Mason Jar

Instructions

Start by pouring the dried peppermint herb into your jar halfway.

Then pour your carrier oil of choice into the jar to fill to the top.

Let it infuse for a few weeks, shaking occasionally. Then strain.
