Directions:

2. In a small saucepan, over low heat, warm the olive oil, with garlic and strips of lemon zest for 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat stir in oregano and allow oil to steep for 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Strain the oil into a clean jar, discarding zest, garlic and oregano. Store as any olive oil.
