HERBED OLIVE OIL

Once it starts getting cold and I know my herb plants are at the end of their cycle, I will make herbed oil with them. It’s nice to have different flavoured olive oil and they are so easy to make.
They’re nice to have on hand for a nice flavourful oil for dipping bread or for cooking veggies and meats.
Did I mention they make great gifts?
