Ingredients

- The zest of 1 orange, cut into thin strips
- The zest of 1 lemon, cut into thin strips
- The zest of 1 lime, cut into thin strips
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 juniper berries
- 2 cups (500 ml) sunflower oil
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Preparation

- In a sterilized jar, combine the citrus zests, cinnamon and juniper berries. In a saucepan, heat the oil with the thyme for about 3 minutes. Remove the thyme and let cool. Pour the cooled oil into the jar and close tightly. Let the oil macerate for a few days in the refrigerator. Pass the oil through a very fine sieve or a cheesecloth. Pour into a pretty bottle. Seal. Store in the refrigerator. This oil is very suitable for flavouring fish, duck, poultry and salads dishes.

Note from Ricardo

While removing the zest of the citrus fruit with a vegetable peeler, take care to remove only the colored part of the skin. Avoid the white part as it is bitter and it will bring bitterness to the oil.
