The following are some ideas on how to make your own flavored olive oils:
Garlic Olive Oil
1/3 cup crushed garlic
½ cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup olive oil
Soak garlic in vinegar for 15 minutes, strain through cheesecloth reserving the garlic. Put garlic into the olive oil, stir and strain. Put olive oil into an airtight container and refrigerate.
      

Herb Olive Oil

2 cups tightly packed fresh herb (basil, chives, cilantro, mint or oregano)
1 cup olive oil
Blanch herb in boiling water for 5 seconds, making sure to push all the herb beneath the water. Drain well. Put herb and olive oil into a blender and puree. Strain through cheesecloth. Put oil into an airtight container and refrigerate.


Lemon Olive Oil

3 lemons
1 cup olive oil
Shave the zest off the lemons using a vegetable peeler. Remove remaining skin. Slice lemons lengthwise and chop. Put in lemon and zest in a mixing bowl with oil and blend for 10 minutes at low speed. Put into an airtight container and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Strain through cheesecloth and let the oil/juice mixture stand until the oil rises to the top. Pour off oil into an airtight container and refrigerate. Discard remaining juice. This can also be done with 2 oranges instead of lemons.
