Article: If you are using whole cloves, use clean hands to place five to ten cloves in the one ounce jar. If you are using ground cloves, you can place ¼ cup of ground cloves into a 12 ounce jar. If you decide to use a higher amount of cloves in the oil, keep in mind the oil will be more potent and you may need to use less of it when applying it to your skin. Once the cloves are in the jar, slowly pour the olive oil in the jar until it sits one inch above the cloves in the jar. If you are using ground cloves, you will pour one cup of olive oil into a 12 ounce jar. Let the one cup of olive oil drain into the jar completely. Make sure the jar is well sealed before you shake the jar three to four times. This will ensure the cloves and the oil are well combined. The cloves and the olive oil need time to interact so the olive oil can extract the chemical properties of the cloves. You should let the jar sit in a cool dark place and ensure it is sealed well to avoid any contamination of the oil. After ten to fourteen days, you will have useable clove oil. You can decide to keep the whole or ground cloves in the oil or strain out the cloves. This is based on preference and is not required to use the clove oil.  To strain out the cloves, place the cheesecloth or the coffee filter over a clean glass jar. Keep the cloth or filter in place with a rubber band around the top of the glass jar. Slowly pour the oil over the cloth or filter into the clean glass jar. The cloves will then be strained out of the oil. If you decide not to strain out the whole cloves or ground cloves, you can use the same cloves several times by filling the jar up again with olive oil and letting it sit for ten to fourteen days. After two to three uses, you should replace the old cloves with fresh cloves.

What is a summary?
Place the whole cloves into the glass jar. Fill the jar with olive oil to one inch above the line of cloves. Seal and shake the jar. Let the jar sit for ten to fourteen days. Strain out the cloves if desired.
