Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves, only use fresh
- fresh herbs, optional
Instructions
- Start by preparing your garlic. Peel and smash your garlic.
- In a small saucepan add the olive oil and garlic cloves. Turn the heat to low heat and let it cook until it starts to turn brown for about 5 minutes.
- Discard the cloves and let the oil completely cool. Strain the oil to remove any bits of garlic into your container.
- Add sprigs of fresh herbs of choice. I used rosemary and thyme.

Notes
- *I like to keep the garlic cloves in the container and add in some sprigs of rosemary and thyme for a pretty presentation. This is completely optional.
