Instructions for Preparing Herb-Infused Olive Oil
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the fresh herbs thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Peel the garlic cloves and gently crush them with the flat side of a knife.
Combine Ingredients
In a clean, dry glass jar or bottle, combine the extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme, basil, crushed garlic cloves, and red chili flakes.
Infuse the Oil
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and let the oil infuse at room temperature for at least 1 week. For a stronger flavor, you can let it sit for up to 2 weeks.
Strain (Optional)
After the infusion period, you can strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the solid herbs and garlic if desired.
Store the Oil
Transfer the infused oil to a clean bottle for storage. Keep it in a cool, dark place. Use within 1-2 months for the best flavor.
