  • Next, take a pan and add the peeled garlic cloves in it. Now, cover them with olive oil and let it come to a simmer.
  • Keep cooking the garlic cloves on low heat and stir at the same time for 10 to 15 minutes. You should ideally cook them till they turn tender but still retain their shape.
  • Once they are cooked, you may turn off the heat and let them cool. You can then transfer the oil to an airtight jar or container and refrigerate it for 3-4 weeks.
  • Strain out the garlic cloves and its ready for use.
