Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh rosemary sprigs under cool water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Ensure there is no moisture left to avoid spoilage.
If using garlic, peel the cloves and gently smash them with the side of a knife. This will help release their flavor into the oil.
In a small saucepan, pour in the olive oil and add the rosemary sprigs. If using garlic, add the smashed cloves to the pan as well.
Place the saucepan over low heat. Warm the oil gently, keeping the heat low to avoid burning the herbs or garlic. The oil should shimmer slightly but should not sizzle. Continue heating for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oil cool to room temperature with the rosemary and garlic still in the oil. This will allow the flavors to continue infusing.
Once cooled, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle or jar. Discard the rosemary and garlic solids.
Seal the container tightly and store the infused oil in a cool, dark place. Use within one month for best flavor and freshness.
