A Few Drops of Kalonji Oil

A few drops of kalonji oil go into a cup of warm water or onto a salad. The amount is drops, not spoonfuls, and it is not for babies.

Kalonji oil by the drop, never by the spoon

Kalonji oil is sharp. In the kitchen it belongs as a few drops in a cup of warm water, or a few drops on a salad for an adult. A teaspoon or a tablespoon is far past this page. The drops are a flavour habit, not a cure for immunity, sugar, cough, hair, or any illness.

Do not give kalonji oil to babies, not even a drop on the tongue or in milk. Do not put it in the ear, nose, or eye. If the stomach burns after a few drops, stop. Pregnant people should ask a doctor before using the oil at all.

Ingredients

  • A few drops of kalonji oil
  • 1 small cup of warm water, or a plain salad
  • A dropper or the bottle lip, not a tablespoon

How to prepare

  1. Count a few drops into warm water, or let the same few drops fall on a salad.
  2. Stir the water once. Do not fill a spoon.

How to use

  • Adults may sip the warm water, or eat the salad with those drops.
  • A few drops once in a day is the top of this habit.
  • Never give it to a baby, and never measure it with a spoon.

Helpful habits

  • If you cannot count drops from the bottle, do not guess with a spoon. Skip it.
  • Food-grade oil from a kitchen bottle is the idea. Do not use a fragrance oil.

Precautions

  • Only a few drops. Not spoonfuls.
  • Kalonji oil is not for babies.
  • This does not cure any illness. Do not put it in the ear, nose, or eye.
