- 1 small bunch wild garlic about 15 g/ 0.5 oz
- 1 ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
Wash and dry the leaves very thoroughly. Cut them into strips. Place in a larger sterilized jar with a well-fitting lid.
Cover with olive oil, make sure that the herbs are completely submerged.
Steep: Place the lid on and let the oil steep in a cupboard for 18 days.
Strain through a sieve lined with cheesecloth into a jug. Press the leaves in the sieve to make sure that you don’t waste any oil.
Decant the oil into a sterilized bottle. It is preferable to use a dark-colored bottle.
Keep in a dark place, like a cupboard, for about one month. If you keep it in the fridge, it will last for about 2-3 months. Always check; it should not taste rancid.
