Herb-flavored oils can be quite pricey to buy in the store. Today, I‘ll show you how to make rosemary-flavored olive oil very easily at home.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Couple sprigs fresh, organic rosemary

  • Fresh, organic, extra-virgin olive oil (enough to top off small bottle)

PREPARATION:

  • Place rosemary sprigs in a shallow bowl.

  • Crush rosemary by pressing down on sprigs with the bottom of a tablespoon and rolling the spoon firmly over them. This releases the aroma from the leaves.

  • Pop sprigs into small glass jar. It‘s a great way to use those little, glass jars you‘ve saved (because you know you should) but never get around to using.

  • Top off jar with fresh, organic, extra-virgin olive oil.

  • Cover jar with lid or piece of aluminum foil.

  • Refrigerate for 3-4 days. The most fabulous aroma will develop.

  • Strain oil through cheesecloth. Pour into a decorative oil bottle.

There you go! A perfectly-yummy, homemade, rosemary-flavored olive oil, fantastic in cooking or raw on salads.

Enjoy !
