You can add essential oils to your favorite recipes that call for dried herbs, spices, or fruit juices. Simply replace these ingredients with the equivalent essential oil. Keep in mind that essential oils have a much stronger flavor than dried herbs and spices, so a much smaller amount is generally sufficient.

Substitutions:

• Juice or zest of 1 citrus fruit = 10–15 drops of oil (taste as you go)

• 1 liquid tablespoon or more = ½–1 drop of oil

• Less than 1 tablespoon = 1 toothpick swirl of oil.
