Green herb oils

Make oil

Pick the leaves from the herbs, bring a large pot of water to the boil and prepare an ice bath (bowl of water with ice-cubes).

Now blanch the herbs in the boiling water for 30 secs and directly put into the ice-bath to preserve the bright green colour. When cooled completely, take the leaves from the water onto a kitchen paper and make sure to press as much of the moisture out as possible.

Then transfer the leaves into a blender and also add the neutral oil. Now blend this till the oil is 65 degrees Celsius. It will heat up from the friction. Then pour it on a sieve that’s lined with a kitchen paper and let it drain overnight. Do this in your fridge to prevent the oil from turning brown.

‍Storage 

You can store the oil as ice cubes for many months and melt one every time you need it.
