Put the turmeric, paprika, coriander, mustard, and cinnamon in a bowl and stir in the vodka. Mash and stir the alcohol into the herbs until all the clumps are worked out. Rehydrating the herbs with vodka enhances the extraction of medicinal properties and savory flavors.
Put a sealing lid on the bowl and let rehydrating herbs sit for 30 minutes.
Put the rehydrated herbs, salt, and olive oil in a blender.
Blend together for 5 to 10 minutes, or for as long as the blender doesn’t get too hot. If the blender starts to smell or smoke at any time, stop the blender and let it cool down completely. Once the blender is cool, blend oil and herbs together for 5 to 10 minutes until blender becomes warm.
Pour oil mixture into a sterilized glass Mason jar and let sit for two weeks. Then your oil is ready to use.
When making oil with dried herbs, it is not necessary to strain the herbs from the oil.
Once you have used the oil, pour the remaining oily dried herbs into a marinade.
