Basil Oil

Wash basil leaves then blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute.

Remove and place in an ice bath to cool down.

Squeeze out water and dry with paper towel.

Place blanched basil, the oil and salt into a blender or food processor and puree.

Let it settle a little then pour into a glass container. Use immediately or refrigerate. Flavors are even more intense the next day.
