I eat a lot of salads and it’s become my main dressing. I like to vary the herbs a bit, double the cinnamon, add pepper or tarragon or coriander. I use 1.5t vodka to hydrate, and I don’t taste it at all. I got my partner addicted to it too. Yay! Thank you Kami!

No, the rum adds too much other flavor, the vodka is kind of tasteless so the herbal flavor can come through

This looks delicious 🙂

Hmmm, I am always supportive of you trying what you have a hunch about, so go ahead and try. I find that more alcohol starts to affect the taste…

Do you ever find that you need more than 1 tsp of vodka to rehydrate the herbs? I didn’t add more, but it seemed like it could have used more.

Hi Rose,
In my book, The Herbal Kitchen, i have an entire chapter on herb infused oils, so you would probably enjoy that.
Here are also 2 other blogs on herbal oils:

Enjoy!

Anxious to try it, maybe on some vegetables at dinner. You mentioned that you keep 4 oils on your counter, including the Alchemy Oil. What are the other 3? I have a variety of oils on my counter too, but they are all store bought ones. Anxious to try making other oils, especially if they are healthy ones.

You packed several months worth of nutritional goodness into a bottle that took you all of, what? Ten minutes? And, I never would have dreamed up that combo, but I’m glad you did! Sounds yummy!
