Prepare the ingredients: 1 head of garlic, 1 cup of olive oil, fresh rosemary, and peppercorns.

In a small pot, combine the olive oil and the garlic, ensuring the garlic is fully submerged in the oil.

Add fresh rosemary and peppercorns to the pot.

Heat the mixture over low heat, starting at a slightly higher temperature to warm the oil, but do not exceed 220 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook until the garlic is completely soft; the cooking time may vary based on the size of the garlic cloves.

Check the garlic's softness with a toothpick; it should be soft when done.

Once soft, remove from heat and strain the oil to separate the garlic from the peppercorns.

Transfer the garlic to a jar and cover it with the strained oil until the garlic is fully submerged.

Store any remaining oil in another container for use as flavored oil, ideal for salads.
