Infused Olive Oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Tbsp Herbs

Wash and dry any fresh herbs thoroughly. This includes fresh herbs, peels, or other ingredients that aren’t dried. You don’t want water in the oil. For fresh herbs, I recommend hanging them upside down in the air for 24-48 hours to remove some moisture.

Add the olive oil and choice of flavor infusions such as fresh herbs, dried chilis, or lemon peel, to a small saucepan. Heat the oil slowly over medium low heat to about 150 degrees for 20 minutes. It should not bubble, boil, or spatter.

Remove from heat and let the oil cool. If desired, strain the herbs or peels out of the oil.

With a funnel, pour the oil into a bottle with enough oil to cover the herbs by at least one inch. Seal the bottle and store in refrigerator, particularly if you have garlic, fresh herbs or fruit peels in the oil. 

How long the oil will last depends on what you put in it. Most dried herbs will last around 2 months, but fresh herbs and peels will last at least 2 weeks, perhaps a month when stored in the refrigerator.

Where can you buy these bottles for the least amount of money?  Do the dollar stores carry them?

2 questions: 1. if you leave the basi leaves for example, do you need to strain them out before using the oil or can you consume them?
2. when should the oil be used by? Thanks so much!

This would a lovely gift. How long will they keep after being opened?

Do you have to refrigerate after or can you let them sit in the pantry?

This is such a great idea for a gift!  I think I'll be making a couple of sets for my sisters, and maybe some homemade vanilla extract, too.  Thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful gift bottles!  These do make wonderful gifts.  Thank you so much for the link back to my garlic oil.

These look fantastic!  I love how pretty the herbs look and I bet they taste amazing.

Rachel, this is such a neat idea! I never thought of making my own infused oils. I bet your friends and family love to get them as gifts!

Ohhhhh, I love this idea!  We use so many oils in this house, it's nice to mix up the flavors.  I'm totally going to check out your vanilla one now!!! Thanks for sharing.

Oooh YUM. I love oils for dipping bread and these are a delicious and practical gift for any foodie! :)
