Create a delightful lemon-infused olive oil to elevate your dishes with a burst of citrus flavor.
Combine the fresh lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil in a clean glass jar.
Ensure the jar is completely dry to prevent any water from spoiling the oil.
Seal the jar and let it sit at room temperature for two weeks, shaking it gently every day.
Place the jar in a cool, dark place to preserve the oil's quality.
After two weeks, strain the oil through a fine strainer to remove the zest.
Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a clear oil.
Transfer the infused oil to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
Label the container with the date to keep track of its freshness.
Enjoy your lemon-infused olive oil as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.
Drizzle over salads, pasta, or grilled vegetables for a burst of citrus flavor.
