  • Pour oil into a very small pot; add garlic cloves and thyme. Cook over medium heat until bubbles start to form. Reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting, and cook until garlic is soft but not brown, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the cloves. Let cool to room temperature, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a sterilized jar, then seal and refrigerate.
