Making your own herb infused oils is very easy once you know how. They not only look great on your kitchen shelf but they add a new dimention to a grilled fillet of fish or chicken or even a warm potato salad perhaps.
Here's how to make basil oil but you can just re;place basil with the herb or herbs of your choice. First you need to wash your fresh herbs and then pat them dry with kitchen paper. Now heat your good quality olive oil (dont use extra virgin) on the stove to 90 degrees c. This doesnt take long, 4-5 mins at the very most.
Now add your basil leaves, they will wilt immediately. Remove from the stove. Push the leaves into sterilized jars ( clean and heated in a warm oven for 10 min). Pour the oil over the top then seal the lids. Store out of direct sunlight. Easy huh? So now its just a matter of comming up with what type of oil you want to infuse.
