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
Greattt thank u so much for your sharing
I died at the centrifuge. Love it 😂
Hi Eddie, How long can the oil be stored in the cooler? Thanks
with what u mix the green oil at 1:10 ? a veloute for diferent density ? @Eddie Shepherd
Thanks really appreciate 🙏
Wonderfull video! What do you do with the remaining herb mass after you have filtered it? Any Use for it? Might be a Pesto or so? Would be a shame to waste it.

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

No, no pre-treatment for this, nice and simple
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.
what modle is the centrifuge
Great video - Thanks!. What is a good alternative to grapeseed oil? Can I use extra virgin olive oil?
@EddieShepherd

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.
Bacana demais !!!!
Great video! Why grapeseedoil? Can I use another oil?
@EddieShepherd

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.
What is the name of the center fuse that you used and where can I get one?

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 isn't the spinzall available I've been looking to buy one but I can't find it available at any online store?

I believe they are going to be available again soon. I can’t promise, that’s just from listening to Dave Arnold (owner of Booker & Dax) cooking issues podcast. But as I understand it they’ll be on sale again soon-ish

@@EddieShepherd I hope so! It'd be a cheaper route than a centrifuge!

Why do you need to filter before spinning it in the centrifuge? Can you just spin it without filtering it?
@milomaz1

You shouldn't, it's less effective if it has lots of big chunks to get
@kday888

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. 😊
