Preparation:
1. Choose a type of oil. When infusing an oil, you will want to choose something that has a
mild flavor and accepts the taste of whatever is being cooked in it. Olive oil is widely available
and easy to infuse. However, its own flavor can be too strong. Consider using extra virgin olive,
peanut, grapeseed, or avocado oils. These oils all have lighter flavor. Choosing a lighter oil will
help ensure that your oil has the taste and aroma that you want.

2. 2. Grate the peel. Before you start, make
sure that you wash and dry your orange to
avoid introducing any pesticides into your
oil. Then, use a zester, Microplane, or a
peeler to grate off the orange peel. The
number of oranges used with vary
depending on the amount of infused oil you
are making. In general, you need about 2
tablespoons (30 ml) of zest for every cup of
oil. Avoid removing any pith.
4. Remove pan from heat. Let the
saucepan cool for a few minutes. For a
milder infusion, use a slotted spoon to
remove the pieces of zest from the oil while
it is cooling. If you would like it to have a
stronger flavor, leave the zest in the oil
while it cools and strain it out before
bottling. If you remove the zest during
cooling, your oil will have a lighter coloring.
If the zest stays in during cooling, you will
have a cloudier coloring.
3. Heat the oil and the zest. Place the
orange zest in a small saucepan and cover
it with oil. Warm the pan over medium heat
for about five minutes or until the oil begins
to bubble. Do not let the oil and zest get
too hot or it will begin to burn and ruin the
flavor and smell. Heating the orange zest
extracts the orange oil that will be infused
with your other oil.
