Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh lemons and oregano, and a good quality extra virgin olive oil. This will ensure that your infused oil has the best possible flavor.
- Use a variety of lemons: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of lemons, such as Meyer lemons, Eureka lemons, and Lisbon lemons.
- Infuse the oil for at least 2 weeks: This will give the oil time to absorb the flavors of the lemons and oregano.
- Store the oil in a cool, dark place: This will help to preserve the flavor and quality of the oil.
- Use the oil within 6 months: Infused oils can lose their flavor over time, so it's best to use them within 6 months.
