Pick your base oil. Depending on your tastes, you will start with a base oil with a light base oil. Taste different oils to see which one suits you best. A light tasting oil is best so it will not overpower the flavoring that you add. Some light tasting oils include sesame oil, sunflower oil and grapeseed oil.

Pour about four ounces of your light oil into a sauce pan. Make small amounts of edible massage oil at a time so that they won't spoil before you get a chance to use them all.

Add the flavoring of your choice to the saucepan. If you are using an extract such as almond or vanilla, you only need a small amount, about one half of a teaspoon to each four ounces of oil. If you are using flavored coffee syrups to flavor your oil you might want to add up to a teaspoon. There are so many flavored coffee syrups available it might be hard to choose one!

Heat the oil and flavoring mixture gently on medium heat, stirring constantly. The heat will help the flavors bind throughout the oil. Heat the oil mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Let the oil mixture cool down to room temperature. Once your oil is cool, pour it into a seal-able bottle or container. Store your oil in the refrigerator to keep it from spoiling, warming it up in a cup of warm water or the microwave before use.
