Things You'll Need:
- 3/4 cup fresh herb or 1/8 cup dried herb
- 1 cup organic extra virgin olive oil
-
Step 1
Chop 3/4 cup fresh herb, or 1/8 cup of dried herb in a food processor or grinder.
-
Step 2
Place the herb into a sterile mason jar with a tight fitting lid.
-
Step 3
Add 1 cup of organic extra virgin olive oil. Screw on the lid and shake well.
-
Step 4
Place the jar near a window for 2 weeks. Shake the mixture daily, to help the herb become infused in the olive oil.
-
Step 5
After 2 weeks has passed, strain the herb and discard it. Cheese cloth can be used for straining the herb. Squeeze the cheese cloth to remove all the olive oil from the herbs.
-
Step 6
