Nasturtium Oil

This looks a bit odd once blended all together because the flowers lose their pretty colors. However, it is all done to share their peppery flavor with the oil.

Nasturtium Oil
2 cups nasturtiums
1 cup safflower oil (or neutral oil ... I used canola)
1 garlic clove, skinned

Pour all ingredients into a blender. Blend on high until smooth and colorful, about 3 minutes. Pour into a glass jar and let sit at least two days in a dark, cool place. You may strain and use the clean oil or stir and use with the flower petals.
