How to Make Mint Oil

  1. Gently pound 1 cup of fresh mint leaves in a mortar and pestle to release their oils.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup of your preferred oil (olive oil, avocado oil, or grapeseed oil recommended) to the pounded mint, mixing well after each addition until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is well combined.
  3. Transfer the mint-infused oil to a clean, airtight glass bottle.
  4. Seal the bottle tightly.
  5. Gently invert the bottle once every two days for two weeks to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
  6. After two weeks, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the mint leaves. Discard the leaves.
  7. Store your homemade mint oil in a cool, dark place. Use within 3 months for optimal freshness. Enjoy drizzled over tomato mozzarella salad, in stir-fries, or as a finishing oil for various dishes!
