Okay! Here’s a quick one for you. This will take no time at all, and will nicely compliment your homemade wine vinegar collection. It’s really as easy as it gets- if you can’t handle this, then perhaps you ought consider hanging up your apron! Anyhow, you only need three items. 
What you need:
1. Clear glass wine bottles, with cork.
2. Olive Oil. Wait for a sale, and buy in bulk! Get the best you can afford.
3. Herbs and spices! Fresh is nice, but dried will do. I suggest garlic, your green leafy herbs, and I also had good results with dried Italian seasoning. Just don’t add salts or anything powdery.
And there you go, really. Just add your herbs to the bottle after a good bruising, and label & cork. Set in your rack for at least six weeks, the longer being the better. You can stretch it out a bit by adding fresh olive oil after you’ve used a bit, but of course, the herbs only have enough oil to go so far. Also, adding the ‘born on’ date to your label is very helpful! These also look very nice, by they way- a wonderful ‘functional decoration’ for your counter, perhaps? In any case, use how you would any other olive oil, but I suggest saving it for when the taste of the olive oil will be appreciated. Bread, salads, just on pasta, and actually, popcorn! are my favorite applications for this stuff. Have fun!
