How to Make Annatto Oil
- Gently heat 1 cup of oil (vegetable, canola, or coconut recommended) in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1/4 cup of annatto seeds to the warm oil.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oil turns a rich golden-orange color and the seeds darken slightly. Watch carefully to prevent splattering.
- Remove from heat immediately to avoid overheating and burning the oil or seeds.
- Let the mixture steep and cool completely for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the color and flavor to infuse fully.
- Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined funnel into a clean glass container, pressing on the seeds to extract all the oil.
- Discard the used annatto seeds.
- Store your vibrant Annatto Oil in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. Enjoy!
