Start by peeling and crushing the garlic cloves.

In a small saucepan, pour in the olive oil and heat it over low to medium heat.

Once the oil is warm, add the crushed garlic cloves and stir gently.

Let the garlic simmer in the oil for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly before straining to remove the garlic solids.

Pour the strained oil into a clean glass jar or bottle and seal tightly.

Allow the oil to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
