Infuse oil, butter or honey in your own kitchen
LEVO
LEVO II - $250
· Use LEVO to infuse any oil, butter or honey at the touch of a button. You can use fresh or dried whole plants, such as herbs, whole spices, dried fruits, nuts, peppers, mushrooms, and more.
· These products are inherently healthier than their highly-processed and mass-produced alternatives, empowering users to control the ingredients they put in their bodies.
Aside from the LEVO II machine, you only need three things:
· Your plant(s): You can use fresh or dried whole plants, such as herbs, whole spices, flower, dried fruits, nuts, peppers, mushrooms, and more.
· A liquid: The most common liquid carriers are fats. Think olive oil, butter, coconut oil, and sesame oil. But people have also used LEVO to infuse other liquids like milks, honey, and vinegar.
· An air-tight container: You’ll need something to catch your infusion once it’s ready. A glass jar or Tupperware will work! www.levooil.com
