Infused olive oil recipe video: how to infuse oils for a garnish or gift
By Todd Knoll Homemade infused olive oil is one of my favorite gifts for dinner parties, Mother’s Day or “just because.” Learn how to infuse your own oils at home with this video. Using these tips and techniques, you’ll learn how to make infused olive oil with Asian flavors and grapeseed oil with citrus. Both are perfect for vinaigrette dressing or drizzling over fish to finish a main course. Buy some tiny mason jars, and these infused oils also make for great gift ideas, table decorations or place setting gifts for dinner party guests.
