Recipe Notes
If you like heat, you can add crushed red pepper flakes to the saucepan while simmering or use Zucchi's Chili Pepper EVOO.
Milk or cream is sometimes added to create a richer flavor. This is optional.
You can use a food processor at the end if you would like to puree everything together. The result will be a cloudier oil. Make sure your ingredients are not very hot when doing this.
