Safer Method: Recipe for Garlic Flavored Oil

Heat 3 3/4 cups of extra virgin oil to a gentle simmer. Add 25 peeled large fresh garlic cloves and poach them for approximately 20-25 minutes until tender and translucent. Take off the heat and leave in pan until the oil is cooled.

Strain the garlic from the oil, reserving them for future use. Pour the oil into a clean decorative bottle and seal with a screw top or cork. Keep refrigerated. The FDA recommends you use within 10-14 days to avoid botulism.
