Pour olive oil into a small sauce pan and cook over low heat until it reaches a temperature of 180˚F, about 5-7 minutes, making sure it does not boil. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, place the garlic, coriander seeds and dried basil leaves into a glass jar (not the one intended for gifting). Pour the heated oil into the jar to cover the leaves, and seal well. Allow the oil to sit for one week in a cool, dark place.
