Love the idea of this oil. I made 1/3 of a batch, and wish I had used the full amount of spices. For the first usage, I tossed the oil with potatoes that I then roasted. The final flavour was lovely but too subtle. Lightly crushing the seeds, pods, berries and leaves might bring out the flavours more, too. My photo was taken prior to the straining. Thanks for a great recipe that I will play around with a bit more.
