You may be wondering, “what in the world is a toothpick swirl?” Well, it is a way to put just a tiny bit of Essential oil into your recipes. Sometimes all you need is a hint of the flavor. This adds the perfect amount of seasoning with a small amount of flair.
It is much more effective to add a little bit of Essential oil to your recipe and then add more as needed. Once you put too much of the oil into the recipe, you cannot take it out. That is why a toothpick swirl can be the most constructive way to enhance the flavors in your food.
Sometimes you don’t want a full drop of Essential oil when it comes to food. You just want a tiny amount because a whole drop is too strong of a flavor. That would overpower the recipe. YL Essential Oils are very concentrated, so in order to be successful in your cooking, you need to add just a toothpick swirl.

How to get just a Toothpick Swirl
Start by unscrewing the lid of the YL Vitality oil of your choice. Then, squeeze the lid gently and very carefully tip it up. Next, open the lid and put a toothpick into the jar. Finally, swirl the toothpick around the jar in the oil. After that, swirl the toothpick into a liquid, whether it be an Italian sauce, honey, coconut oil, or hot water for tea. These are just a few examples of what you can use with your swirl.
