1. Wash and finely chop 1 packet of rosemary. Place it in a heat-proof bowl and cover with the oil.
2. Place the bowl over a pan of boiling water and heat for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and strain.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 using the second pack of rosemary but the same oil.
4. Allow the oil to cool. Pour into the dark-glass container and label. It will keep for one year.
