Garlic Infused Avocado Oil

If you’re looking for a fun, purposeful craft idea or a gift that comes from the heart, consider making your own infused cooking oil. Since nearly everyone uses cooking oil when they prep a pan or bake a dish, it’s an amazingly practical gift—plus, an aesthetically pleasing bottle or mason jar of infused oil looks lovely placed on your kitchen countertop or in a rotating rack of spices and oils. As a bonus, infused oils are simple to make at home using basic ingredients and kitchen tools you likely already have. 

Avocado oil is pretty perfect on its own: neutral tasting, easy to cook with at high heat (500°F+), and a source of good fats we love. Pair it with other ingredients like garlic or lemon, for example, and it takes this beautiful oil to a whole new level. This easy DIY recipe for garlic infused oil is made with our premium, rigorously tested Avocado Oil for a gourmet-quality gift or home pantry staple everyone will eat up.

6. Pour oil into the sterilized jar, on top of your herbs. Seal the top of your jar and allow the oil to cool.
7. Store oil in the refrigerator after it cools. Oil should keep for up to one month in the refrigerator. If refrigerated oil appears cloudy, allow it to come to room temperature before using.
