Yield: 1 CupRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 cup: Oil, vegetable
1/2 cup: Annatto seeds,

Heat the oil in a small saucepan, add the seeds and cook over low
heat for about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time, until a rich
orange color is obtained. Cool, strain and store in a covered jar in
the refrigerator. It will keep for several months.
If the seeds are cooked too long, the orange color will change to a

lighten.
