Well, it's 3 days later since letting my concoction sit. It's actually turning out pretty well. I can still smell a bit of the olive oil, but the clove scent is growing stronger.
I strained out the cloves to leave a clear oil, then crushed up another maybe tablespoon of more cloves and added it to the pre-scented oil. I'm going to leave it another 3 days, hopefully it will be as strong as I would like it.
This oil is a mere experiment to see how well this form of oil making works. I may document better my next experiement if this one turns out as well as I think it will. I'm thinking of making a lavender oil next.
However, I do believe a shopping trip is in order for perhaps tomorrow. I may need a new mortar and pestle...the one I have seems too big for me (at least the bowl is...it's perhaps the size of a cereal bowl...but deeper).
Updates will come :)
