How to Make Lemon Spice Infused Oil

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a mortar and pestle (or using a spice grinder), coarsely grind together: 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Grind until a fragrant paste forms.
  3. In a 1-cup metal measuring cup or small metal bowl, thoroughly combine the spice paste with 1 cup of your favorite high-quality olive oil.
  4. Place the measuring cup/bowl on a baking sheet. Bake in the lower third of the preheated oven for one hour.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Line a fine-mesh strainer with several layers of cheesecloth. Carefully strain the infused oil into a clean glass jar.
  7. Seal the jar loosely and refrigerate. Your Lemon Spice Infused Oil will keep for up to one month.
