How to Make Tiki Oil
- 1). Pour mineral oil into a clean, dry plastic bottle that you can throw away later, such as a plastic soda bottle, to the half-way point. Mineral oil is known to ruin certain materials, so choose something that you can throw away or recycle afterwards.
- 2). Add 10 to 20 drops of a fragrance oil of your choice to the bottle, or citronella to keep bugs away. Pick lavender fragrance oil, peppermint or eucalyptus as an alternative to citronella to repel insects.
- 3). Twist the cap tightly back onto the bottle and gently swirl and shake the bottle for 1 minute to mix the fragrance thoroughly through the mineral oil. Remove the cap and pour the scented oil into your tiki torch. Insert a tiki torch wick into the torch and wait 8 hours for the oil to soak up through the wick before lighting it.
