DIY Garlic-infused olive oil

Do you miss garlic? πŸ§„πŸ§„πŸ§„


​​​​​​Foods high in FODMAPs (such as the fructans in garlic) have been proven to exacerbate IBS symptoms. And sadly, garlic is a common trigger. The good news is that there are now many commercially available garlic-infused olive oils. And making your own is easy-peasy!

NOTES

If you’re not using the oil immediately, strain into an air-tight container, refrigerate and use within 3 days. Avoid online recipes that recommend you make garlic-infused oil in large batches. The risk of botulism is real!
​​​​​​​​
Infused oil can be frozen but it’s a huge faff and it always tastes weird once defrosted (or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. If you've worked out how to freeze/defrost garlic infused oil, please let me know!)​​​​​​​ So my advice is to make small amounts and use it liberally! ​​​​​​​​
