Ingredients
- Dried Oregano Leaves
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- To make oregano infused oil, half fill a clean jar with dried oregano leaves.
- Pour the olive oil over the oregano until the jar is almost full.
- Add the lid and set the jar in a dark, dry spot for 2 weeks to steep. Check the oil every few days, gently swirling it every now.
- After two to four weeks, place a piece of cheesecloth into a strainer.
- Place the strainer into a funnel, which has been placed in another clean jar.
- Pour the leaves that have been in the oil filled jar into the strainer, into the other jar. Allow as much liquid through as possible, so you may want to let everything sit for 5 minutes or so.
- Discard leaves, and put a lid on the jar that is now filled with oil.
- Label and date the oregano oil jar.
- Now your oregano infused oil is ready to use.
- Store the infused oil in a cool, dark place, checking regularly to make sure that it smells okay. If it does smell bad, throw it away and make another batch. Oil can go rancid, so make sure to use your infused oil within 12 months of making.
