Got to stage 2, the oil cracked the bottle open and oil and garlic poured out. Even though the bottle was very thick glass.
Follow this recipe with caution and put the bottle in the sink to pour the oil in case there is a problem.

Gently sauteed the garlic in the oil, for at least 3 mins, cool slightly and then pour into sterilised bottle.
