Equipment
- 2 sterilised glass jars
- 2 oil bottles with lids
- 1 Pot
- Sieve
Ingredients
- 500 ml Olive oil
- 1 sprig Superb Herb Rosemary
- 2 sprigs Superb Herb Basil
Instructions
- Shake off any soil or dirt from the herbs. If you wish to wash the herbs, it’s best to wash a few hours in advance to ensure they are 100 percent dry as oil and water do not mix.
- Gently bash the herbs with a rolling pin on a chopping board to release the flavour.
- Pour the oil into a pot. Heat the oil on a low medium heat till just warm.
- Carefully divide the oil into two clean sterilised jars or clean bowls. Place the basil into one jar and the rosemary into the other. Set aside to cool.
- Place a sieve over a bowl or jug. Pour the oil through the sieve to extract the herbs. Transfer the basil oil into a clean bottle with a lid. Transfer the rosemary oil into a clean oil bottle with a lid.
- Place the closed oil bottles into a dry cool place out of direct sunlight for one week before use.
