Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the grapefruit peel with the oil and let stand, covered, at room temperature for 3 days; strain. The oil can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 6 months.

Tip
  • Use a very sharp knife to remove the outer peel of the grapefruit, avoiding the white underskin, which will make an acrid oil. Lemon, lime, orange or tangerine peel can be infused for different flavored oils.
