Creating flavored oils is not the most difficult of culinary pursuits. In fact it is quite simple really. Gather spices and herbs from your garden or your local bulk food store, a giant tub of olive oil, a few pretty bottles from your recycling bin and you are good to go!
Lavender oil...Rosemary...ROSE oil...the list goes on and on...
Last but not least is allspice. I found this fabulous old gin dispenser and I love the contrast of the rectangular shape with the roundness of the whole allspice. If you are wondering, (and if you are any kind of fan you most certainly are) you recognize this bottle from the first season of Mad Men. It is the exact dispenser in Don Draper's office. Too bad I couldn't fin the other 3....gin will be it for now...well, allspice oil will be all for now...but I digress. Dump about this much allspice into your bottle.
Start by collecting various dry herbs and spices from the garden.
Add oil (olive oil is usually the least expensive, but others can be used.) Buy in bulk from a club store for the best prices!
Let the mixture infuse for at least a week before using -- the flavors are amazing!
