How to Make Thai Perfumed Oil
- Gently bruise 1/2 cup of packed fresh cilantro leaves and 2 stalks of lemongrass using a mortar and pestle or the back of a knife.
- Place the bruised cilantro and lemongrass, along with 2-3 Thai chili peppers (adjust to your spice preference), into a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle.
- Pour in 2 cups of your preferred high-quality oil (e.g., grapeseed, avocado, or coconut). Seal the jar tightly.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, allowing the flavors to infuse fully. After 2 weeks, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the herbs and chilies.
- Use the fragrant oil to baste meats and vegetables while cooking. Enjoy the delicious Thai-inspired taste in your dishes!
