In a mason jar combine equal parts olive oil and dried oregano leaves.

Shake to cover all the leaves well with oil.

Bring water to a boil in a pot and then turn off the heat.

Submerge the oil mixture in the jar up to the “shoulder” of the jar.

Allow it to sit for 15 minutes.

Remove and place in a warm sunny window for 2 weeks, shaking the jar every day or every  other day.

After 2 weeks strain the oil through a cheesecloth or mesh strainer.

Place strained oil back in the jar and store it in a cool dark location like the pantry or even your fridge for a longer shelf life.
