Notes
Hot Infuse Vs Cold Infuse
There is cold infusion and hot infusion and for most of the ingredients, you can use either. In case of cold infusion, you just pour the oil and the flavoring elements in an airtight glass jar and leave it in the room temperature for a few days. This method will take some time for the oil to get flavorful. As I was using garlic, I had to choose the hot infusion method. There is no exact science on what ratio you should be using for the ingredients, it absolutely up to you!Storing garlic cloves in Olive Oil
You want to be careful about storing garlic cloves in Olive Oil. I discard the garlic cloves once it infuses the oil. If you wish to store the garlic cloves in the oil, then make sure to keep the bottle in the refrigerator or freezer.Garlic in oil shouldn’t be kept in room temperature for more than 2 hours.
