6–12 months.
Method 2: Warm Infusion (Quick Method)
This method is faster and ideal if you want pine oil within hours instead of weeks.
You’ll need:
Same ingredients as above
Double boiler or slow cooker
Instructions:
Combine the chopped pine needles and carrier oil in a heat-safe glass jar or bowl.
Place the jar in a double boiler or slow cooker filled with water.
Gently heat on low for 3–4 hours (do not boil).
Stir occasionally to help extraction.
Allow to cool, strain, and pour into a dark glass container.
