Ingredients
Scale
- Glass salad dressing bottle with a lid or a glass Mason jar with a sealable pour lid
- Fresh herbs, enough to cover up to 1/3 of the bottom of the bottle or jar (I used about 6 to 7 leaves basil, 3 sprigs rosemary and a couple sprigs of dill) rinsed and gently patted dry
- 1 to 1.5 cups grapeseed oil (or other oil of your choice)
Instructions
- First, take your herbs, after rinsing and patting dry, and rub them in the palm of your hands, back and forth. This will help release the essential oils and flavor faster than soaking them in the oil alone would.
- Add each piece of herb into the bottle. They should fill about 1/3 of your bottle. Of course, each bottle is different, so just figure out how much to use as best as you can. If you don’t have enough you won’t taste the flavor very much in your food.
- Next, measure out your grapeseed oil and fill the bottle, using a funnel if needed, covering the herbs well. You should leave a 1″ – 1.3″ space at the top of the bottle to let it breathe, so be sure not to overfill.
- Place your lid on the bottle and give it a good shake to blend well.
