Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ginger-Infused Coconut Oil.
Step 1
Start by arranging your thinly sliced ginger on the dehydrator tray, spreading it out evenly for optimal drying.
Step 2
Follow the instructions provided by your dehydrator's manufacturer, and remember to rotate the tray every 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
You'll know the ginger is ready when it becomes crisp and releases a delightful aroma, which typically takes about two hours.
Step 4
Once your ginger is perfectly dried, break it into smaller pieces and place them in a saucepan.
Step 5
Pour in some melted coconut oil and gently heat the mixture over low heat.
Step 6
This is where the magic happens—let the ginger infuse its vibrant flavors and natural oils into the coconut oil for at least two hours, stirring occasionally to keep everything well combined.
Step 7
After the infusion period, it’s time to strain your ginger oil.
Step 8
Use a fine strainer to remove the larger ginger pieces, ensuring a smooth oil.
Step 9
For an even clearer result, you can wrap cheesecloth over the top of a glass jar and pour the ginger oil through it, straining it once more.
Step 10
This step not only enhances the clarity of your oil but also adds a touch of finesse to your culinary creation.
Step 11
Enjoy the rich, aromatic ginger oil in your favorite recipes or as a delightful addition to your cooking adventures!.
