Prepare the Ingredients:

• Wash and pat dry the herbs thoroughly. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent spoilage.

Heat the Olive Oil:

• In a small saucepan, pour the olive oil and warm it over low heat. Avoid letting it boil; the goal is to gently heat the oil to extract the flavors.

Infuse the Herbs:

• Add the rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic (if using), and dried chili (if using) to the warm oil.
• Let the herbs and oil warm together on low heat for 5-7 minutes.

Cool and Strain:

• Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the oil to cool completely.
• Strain the oil into a clean, dry, and airtight glass bottle to remove the herbs and garlic.

Store and Use:

• Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Use within 1-2 weeks for the best flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

• Drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, or pasta dishes.
• Use as a dip for fresh bread or a marinade for grilled meats and vegetables.
• Add a splash to soups or stews for a burst of herbal aroma.

Pro Tip:

Eewa Farms’ fresh herbs bring out the best flavors. Experiment with other herbs like oregano or parsley to customize your oil. For longer shelf life, avoid leaving fresh herbs in the oil.
