Infusing Oil: (MTD 1 of 7)

Very Nice and a great gift idea!

Infusing oil is one of the easiest things to do to bring a very delicious kick to any dish you’re making, even something as simple as a fried egg! I first started infusing oil about a year ago, using 3 combinations, one of which ended up being an oil that I’ll make frequently in the years to come. These oils last a long while, so I haven’t made it too many times, but I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon. Another great thing about infusing your own oils is they make great gifts if you tie a pretty ribbon around it and put it in a nice bottle!
