Ingredients

• 500 ml Olive oil
• 5 large lemons Lemon zest (organic, unwaxed)
• 50 ml Limoncello liqueur
• 1 clove Garlic (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax. Using a microplane or fine grater, carefully zest the lemons, avoiding the bitter white pith beneath the peel.

Step 2

If using garlic, lightly crush the clove but leave it whole. This will allow it to infuse gently without an overpowering garlic flavor.

Step 3

In a clean, dry saucepan, gently heat the olive oil over low heat until it is just warm to the touch, around 40°C (104°F). Do not allow the oil to boil or simmer.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the lemon zest, limoncello liqueur, and the optional garlic clove. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cool, pour the oil through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a sterilized glass bottle or jar to remove the zest and garlic pieces.

Step 6

Seal the bottle tightly and store in a cool, dark place. The oil can be used immediately but will develop a deeper flavor after infusing for 24-48 hours.

Step 7

Shake the bottle gently before each use to mix in any settled aromatic compounds. Use within 2 weeks for the freshest flavor.
