How-to Make Infused Olive Oil {+ Video}
Infused Olive Oils make really great and beautiful gifts for the food lovers in your life! They are also great to have on hand in your own kitchen for your own cooking adventures. The flavor possibilities are endless and it is truly a fun and unique gift.
There are lots of great options for simple homemade gifts here on TY: Healthier Hot Cocoa Mix, Homemade Chocolate Bark, Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in a Jar, DIY homemade Vanilla Extract, Essential Oil Holiday Room Sprays, Crock Pot Pumpkin Butter, Coconut Butter, Nut Butters, Candy Cane Hot Cocoa Mix, Chai Concentrate, just to name a few of my favorites.
A handmade gift, made with love, packaged up sweetly with beautiful custom labels and a thoughtful note, to me, is what the season is all about. Sharing something you created with your own two hands, especially for the person receiving it.
There are so many various ways you can infuse olive oil and there are just as many posts floating around the web telling us about them. Some heat the oil, while others just throw it all together in the bottle and call it a day, some leave in the ingredients in, others strain them out before bottling. I have done a lot of reading and no matter what method you choose, there are a few concerns we have to take into account when making infused olive oils.

Tasty Yummies Advertising Update
I want to take a moment today to address some advertising changes that happened on my site as of this past month, which you may have noticed. I signed an exclusive content creator contract with Glam Media as part of their Foodie and Bliss sub brands, to provide innovative and quality advertising services to my readers that will not only complement my content but in turn this will also provide some small financial benefits to me. This will hopefully allow me to continue growing Tasty Yummies by providing quality content to you my readers. In entering into this agreement I am still able to work with select networks as well as directly with sponsors on advertising campaigns, sponsorships, features, giveaways, etc.
Glam has allowed me to get pretty specific with what I will allow for ads, so although it could potentially mean more money, I have personally opted out of any campaigns that I feel do not compliment the vision of Tasty Yummies. For example, I opted out of any campaigns promoting processed foods, fast food, meat, soda, etc. That being said it will likely take some time to get it to exactly where I want it. You will see in addition to banner ads in the right side bar, occasionally there are some campaigns that will actually take over the top half of my site with a full banner across the top and a custom background. It shouldn’t appear at all times and if you were to refresh it would likely be gone. This in particular is definitely something I am getting used to, but for now I am trying it out. Additionally, the ads towards the bottom of the page on the right hand side are brought in via Google Adsense, which sadly doesn’t allow me to get quite as specific when opting in and out, so I try to keep a careful eye on those.
