Instructions
Step 1
Prep Ice Bath: Prepare a bowl of ice water.
Step 2
Blanch: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place basil leaves in a colander, then dunk the colander into the boiling water, using a spoon to ensure all basil leaves go under the water. Blanch for about 15 seconds, or until bright green and wilted.
Step 3
Ice Bath: Immediately transfer basil leaves to the ice water to stop the cooking process.
Step 4
Blend: Strain basil from water, patting dry. Add to a blender along with oil, blending until smooth.
Step 5
Strain: Strain the pureed mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the basil solids, leaving you with a smooth basil oil!
