Blend 1 min / speed 8 until smooth.
Scrape down and repeat if needed.
Warm gently (optional for deeper colour)

Allow to cool slightly.
Strain

Notes
Storage

Tip: Try swapping parsley for basil, coriander, dill, or chives for different herb oils.Tip: Always use a clean spoon to scoop it out (not dipping bread straight in) to keep it fresher longer.
