The best thing about homemade oil is the way it delivers the antioxidant properties of the herbs and spices it contains directly to your body. Not to mention all the natural benefits of that golden nectar itself! Now let’s work some magic and make your own homemade aromatic olive oil which you can use as a marinade or on boiled meats as well!

 

Ingredients:

4 bay leaves

1 scant tsp cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

1 litre olive oil

 

Directions:

 

Rinse the bay leaves and gently pat them dry on a towel. Put the bay, the cloves and the cinnamon into a glass bottle. Fill it up with olive oil, leaving a little space at the top. Shut the bottle with an airtight cap, and store in a cool dark place for 20 days. After 20 days have passed, pour the oil into a fresh bottle, careful to remove the herbs and spices.
