Lemon Oil

Directions

1. 1
   {"0":"Warm oil in a saucepan over med. heat. Remove the yellow skin of lemons with a vegetable peeler,being careful not to cut into the white pith. Cut lemon zest into thin strips. Add about 3\/4 of the zest to the warm oil, and simmer 15-20 minutes. You don't want the oil to get to hot since it will start to break down, so lower heat as needed.","2":"Turn off heat and cover the pan, but don't remove from stove. Allow oil to be infused by lemon zest for 2-3 hours. Strain oil thru a fine mesh sieve, and discard lemon zest. Place remaining zest in a container with a tight fitting lid. Pour oil into the container, and cover. Will keep up to 3 months.","4":"For more complex flavors, consider adding garlic, rosemary or any other number of herbs and spices to your infused oil. Try Oranges, tangerines, lime, basil, etc."}
