Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instruction
- Rinse basil leaves. Bring a large conatiner of water to a boil in the microwave. ( I use an 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup.) Press basil leaves under the water and hold for about 20 seconds. Drain water and gently squeeze leaves in paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Blend basil and oil in blender until completely blended. Depending on the strength of your blender yo may need to pass the oil through a fine seive or cheesecloth to ensure the oil is smooth.
- Transfer oil to a pouring vessel, cover and refrigerate at least hours and preferably 12-24.
- Will keep refrigerated and sealed up to one week.
