10 heads of garlic (cloves peeled, around 2 3/4 cups (I highly suggest buying pre-peeled garlic))
8-10 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 tbsp. black peppercorns
1 tsp red chili flakes - optional
2 small bay leaves
2 1/2 cups pure olive oil

To a medium-large sized saucepan/pot add all the ingredients and over on low (do not boil) for around 30 minutes or until garlic is perfectly buttery and creamy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a large jar and store for up to 3 weeks in the fridge.

Recipe sounds good. But I wanted to know why you use a slotted spoon? Don't you want the oil?
