LĒVO is designed for infusing a range of botanical
ingredients, so you can enjoy their flavor,
nutrition, and wellness benefits in your everyday
life.
High-end restaurants, global food companies,
and independent chefs alike use infusion
techniques to enhance food and experiment with
flavors.
Skincare, beauty, and other wellness brands
also use infusion to incorporate healing herbs
into your routine. Unfortunately, most of these
infused products are mass produced and can
be over processed.
LĒVO simplifies the process of home infusion,
so it’s easy to incorporate fresh or dried herbs,
fruits, seeds, and more into virtually any recipe
you'd like (sans preservatives, solvents, or
additives).
First, some rules
of the road from
your friends at
LĒVO HQ...

Temperature Calculator

infusion settings.
Infuse with LĒVO
03
When in doubt, infuse at lower temperatures.
This will ensure all the wholesome goodness
(flavors, aromas, nutrition) of your ingredients
remain intact.
The moister the herb, the shorter the shelf life
of your infusion. Consider using dried or acti-
vated botanicals when you infuse to keep your
infusion fresher, longer (and always store
finished infusions in a cool, dark place).
When it comes to fats in your oil or butter, the
more refined, the higher the smoke point and
more neutral the taste. The less refined, the
smoke point is lower and the taste is more
flavorful. Plus, there is more added “good stuff”
(like healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins).
Refinement is the process of separating
different elements of a substance and
distilling or processing it, so it no
longer contains all of its original
ingredients.
Example: White flour is refined, whole
wheat flour is unrefined.
Low & Slow
We recommend coarsely ground herbs, as
opposed to finely ground, to prevent unwanted
particles in your infusions and final creations.

Routine Infusion Instructions
1. Press and slide down on the POWER button to turn
on.
2. Open the lid by pressing down on it gently to release
the latch and double-check that the reservoir is
properly nested inside your LEVO.
3. Remove your Herb Pod from the reservoir and add
your ingredients. Make sure to not pack it too tightly,
so that liquid can freely flow in and out. With the
silicone cap securely on, place your packed Herb
Pod in the designated spot in your reservoir (where
it says PLACE POD HERE).
4. Place the Silicone Stirrer on the center mark inside
the reservoir (paddle side up).
5. Add in 5-16 fl oz (150 mL–475 mL) of oil or butter to
the reservoir, making sure the contents of your Herb
Pod are completely submerged in liquid.
6. Let's get cooking! You can adjust the time (up to 10
hours) and temperature (up to 200°F/93°C) settings,
as needed, by pressing the + and - buttons. Once
you’re happy with your settings, press START. Use
our handy Time & Temperature Calculator on our
website or mobile app for recommendations on
suggested infusion settings.
