* 5 litres of olive oil (extra virgin not needed)
* 12 Garlic bulbs, complete, stalks and outside skin removed - see picture.

===Method===
* Add the oil to a very large pan, complete with the Garlic bulbs.
* '''Very''' gently bring the oil to a slow rolling boil
* Reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, gently crushing the Garlic bulbs with a potato masher or similar.
* Allow to cool for 30 minutes
* Repeat the process above
* Cool and stand 2 hours
* Strain the oil multiple times, finally filter through a muslin cloth
* Store in sterilised bottles - it seems to keep forever.
