1. Put the oil and garlic into a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until garlic is fragrant, but not colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the remaining ingredients and allow to cool. Cover and steep for 1 hour. Strain into a jar or small serving/dipping bowl (discard the garlic). The oil can be stored at room temperature for 24 hours, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (bring to room temperature before serving).
