Remove from the heat and allow the oil to sit for at least 2 hours, or until you’ve reached your desired potency.

Strain the garlic oil through cheesecloth to remove the cloves or fish them out with tongs.

Transfer the garlic oil to an airtight glass jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
