- How can I make my own flavored oils or vinegars

Sure! Here are four different ways you can make your own flavored oils or vinegars:

**Herb-Infused Oil**: Just grab some fresh herbs like basil, rosemary, or thyme. Heat up a neutral oil, like olive or grapeseed, and toss in the herbs. Let it simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes, then strain it out and bottle it. You’ll have a tasty herb oil for drizzling on salads or pasta!

**Spicy Chili Oil**: If you like a little kick, take some dried chili flakes or whole dried peppers and add them to a bottle of olive oil. Let it sit for a week or two to let the flavors meld. Just be careful not to let it sit too long, or it might get too spicy!

**Garlic-Infused Vinegar**: For a zesty vinegar, chop up some garlic cloves and add them to a bottle of white wine vinegar. Let it steep for about a week in a cool, dark place. You’ll get a delicious garlic flavor that’s perfect for salad dressings or marinades.
