Hi, my oil doesn't look like the oil on your picture! What can it be? It is not transparent is more like clody. Help!

RE: End Result

The oil will be cloudy once made. It will eventually settle and also needs to be strained through cheesecloth (maybe even twice). Be careful not to push too many of the solids through the cheesecloth or they can cloud the oil and you'll have to strain again. Cheers!

Large?

I never know what "large" means when talking about bunches of herbs. Would it be about 1 cup worth or 2 cups?

Thanks

RE: Large Bunch of Basil

Anywhere from 1 to 2 cups can be used to make the oil. The more basil that is used, the stronger the flavor will be. Cheers!
