Use extra virgin olive oil, a liquified form of coconut oil, or avocado oil. A few ounces will do. Place the oil into a small jar with a lid.
Put 1/2 tsp of ground cloves into the oil. You can also use fresh cloves if you grind them up in a mortar and pestle. Put the lid onto the jar to keep out any dust or debris.
Allow the ground clove to steep in the oil for one week.
Strain the oil (if you choose) with a fine strainer and put the clove-infused oil into the jar for safekeeping until use. Store in a cool, dry, dark space like under the bathroom cabinet.
