Create a delightful infused olive oil with aromatic herbs and zesty citrus, perfect for enhancing your dishes or gifting.
Wash and dry the herbs thoroughly.
Ensure the herbs are completely dry to prevent spoilage.
Peel the orange and lemon to obtain the zest.
Use a peeler to avoid the bitter white pith.
Place the herbs, citrus zest, peppercorns, and chili into the glass bottles.
Arrange the ingredients aesthetically for a beautiful presentation.
Pour the olive oil into the bottles using a funnel.
Fill the bottles slowly to avoid air bubbles.
Seal the bottles and store in a cool, dark place for two weeks, shaking daily.
Shaking the bottles helps distribute the flavors evenly.
After two weeks, the oil is ready to use. Decorate the bottles if gifting.
Label the bottles with the infusion date for reference.
