Infused Olive Oil

I enjoy making food gifts and projects.  The Candy Cane Vodka was so easy and so good.  Infused olive oils are very similar... it takes about 5 minutes to put it together and the results are usually amazing.  For this project I filled some bottles with extra virgin olive oil and added 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper, 2 quartered garlic cloves, and a big fresh sprig of rosemary.  Cap it, put it aside, and let it sit for about 5 days for optimum flavor.  If you pop it in the fridge, it will get cloudy but it should dissipate once you shake it and bring it to room temp.  I'd recommend keeping it at room temp and out of direct sunlight for best results.

Note: as with any type of infused olive oil, you want to watch out for any sign of spoilage and dispose of the contents immediately.
