preserving oil infusions

[Guest guest]

I am getting ready to infuse some dried comfrey in olive oil and realized I

don't really know how much Vit E or ROE to use for about a half gallon glass

container of oil and herb.

 

I'm thinking that a couple teaspoonfuls should be plenty. How does that

sound to you more experienced folks?

 

Also, I read (while trying to find this answer online) that some people also

recommend adding a bit of alcohol to the oil just before capping to steep,

to reduce or stop any mold from forming in the jar. Any thoughts on that?

 

Thank you,
