Homemade Olive Oil and Milk Blend
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Pour the Milk:
- Pour 1 cup of milk into a medium-sized mixing bowl or a blender.
- Add Olive Oil:
- Gradually pour 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into the milk.
- Blend the Mixture:
- If using a blender, blend on low speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is well combined and has a slightly creamy texture.
- If using a whisk, whisk vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the oil is well incorporated into the milk.
- Season (Optional):
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor if desired. Stir or blend again briefly to mix.
- Store:
- Transfer the mixture to a glass jar or a bottle with a lid. Store it in the refrigerator and use within 3-4 days.
Uses:
- Salad Dressings: Use this blend as a base for creamy salad dressings. Add herbs, vinegar, lemon juice, or spices to customize.
- Sauces: Incorporate this mixture into pasta sauces, soups, or casseroles for added creaminess.
- Coffee Creamer: Use it as a homemade creamer for coffee or tea.
Tips:
- Consistency: Adjust the amount of olive oil to achieve your desired consistency. More oil will make it thicker and creamier.
- Flavors: Experiment with infused olive oils (like garlic or herb-infused) for added flavor.
This homemade blend is quick, easy, and allows you to control the ingredients, making it a healthier alternative to many store-bought options. Enjoy!
