Ingredients:

500mL Olive Oil

1 bunch Top Taste rosemary 

2 250mL glass bottles

Method:

  1. Throughly wash your rosemary and leave to dry in a warm place for at least 24 hours
  2. Make sure your rosemary is completely dry
  3. Place half your olive oil and half your rosemary into a pan and heat on the lowest heat for 20 minutes. Be careful to just warm the oil, you don’t want to deep fry your rosemary!
  4. In the meantime, divide the other half of your rosemary into two lots, and place into each bottle
  5. Remove oil from heat, and set aside to cool for ten minutes
  6. Remove rosemary from the oil and discard
  7. Divide oil from pan between each bottle and top each with fresh olive oil to fill bottles.
  8. Seal bottles and keep in a warm dark place for two weeks before using.

Tips:

If your rosemary still feels damp the next day, you can put it in the oven on a low heat to help speed up the process.
