Herb Oil Method -
This works for multiple different fresh green herbs.
200g Freshly picked herb leaves (ie, lemon verbena, parsley, mint, dill etc)
300g Grapeseed oil
Blanch the herb leaves in a large pan of rapidly boiling water for one minute, then remove the herbs quickly and transfer straight into ice water.
Strain the blanched herbs and squeeze out any excess moisture, then allow the herbs to sit until dry to the touch.
Combine the herbs with the oil, place in a blender and blend continuously on high for 10 minutes or until the mix reaches 60C.
Strain the blended herb oil through a coffee filter..
Once prepared, I spin my herb oils in a centrifuge to get them as clear as possible. But if you don’t have access to a centrifuge you can still get great results by filtering the finished herb oil through a coffee filter.
Store the oil in the fridge short term or in the freezer for longer storage.

    That’s a great idea. I’d been thinking about doing one arround those ideas and some principles people can use from visual arts - colour theory, rule of thirds, golden spiral, minimalism etc, and then also how & why we might want to break those rules. Something I’ll get to for sure

    Nothing at the moment, but it would be interesting to find a use for the solids. Sometimes I will freeze things like that until I figure out how to re-use them

    @EddieShepherd, did you have to use a treatment on the herb oil before spinning it? I just got a Spinzall 2.0 (yesterday!) and I'm eager to give this a try

    Would a Superbag be a useful alternative to a Chemex filter? Not sure how fine the latter are, or if that’s not a benefit then maybe there’s a lower risk of picking up any notes from the paper if instead using a Superbag.

    I think a super bag would be ok, they come in different grades of how fine the mesh is but as far as I can tell they dont get close to as fine as a coffee filter. I often put things though more than one pass - ie filter through a chinois or superb to do a first major filter, then pass through a coffee filter for finer filtering, and then I guess the centrifuge is another step finer again, just with a different method.

    Thanks, you could use evoo but it has a much stronger flavour so I would generally suggest a more neutral oil so the herb flavour comes through more clearly.

    You can use other oils but I recommend grapeseed because its neutral flavour allows the herb flavours to come through well, as well as their colour.

    It’s called the Spinzall, made by booker and dax. They are taking waiting list orders of them at the moment so it’s a good time to order one, they’ve been unavailable for a long time. I actually have a longer video all about it coming in a couple of days

    Why do you need to filter before spinning it in the centrifuge? Can you just spin it without filtering it?

    You shouldn't, it's less effective if it has lots of big chunks to get

    Yeah but your oil is oxidizing the whole time it’s being filtered and I feel like maybe spinning it a couple of times might be more effective than letting it filter overnight first. Worth a test. 😊
