Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, removed from stems Or use 2 teaspoons fragrant, dried herbs
- 2 lemons, zested organic lemons preferred
Instructions
- Heat the oil until it's warm and just beginning to simmer. Do not bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat.Add the herbs and lemon zest. Allow the herbs and zest to steep covered for at least 10 minutes.
- If desired, use right away. For a more intense lemon flavor, add the oil, zest and herbs to a glass container and steep for at least 3 hours (or up to 3 days) in the fridge. The oil will harden in the fridge, so move it to room temperature about 30 minutes before using.
- Refrigerate oil: The infused oil will last for up to 3 days if kept refrigerated.Freeze oil: Leftover oil can be preserved longer if frozen within 2-3 days. For easy freezing, try pouring the oil into a portioned silicone mold (such as an ice cube tray), and then moving the frozen oil cubes to a freezer bag. Use frozen oil within 3 months for the best flavor. If frozen, oil should be used within two days of thawing.
Notes
- Amounts listed for lemon zest and herbs can be adjusted as desired.
