Instructions

First, blanch 1 cup of fresh basil by adding it to boiling water for just 30 seconds, then immediately transfer it to an ice bath. This step preserves the bright green color for the oil. Pat the blanched basil dry and add it to a blender, along with 1 cup of olive oil. Blend until smooth, approximately 30 seconds. Strain the oil and transfer it to a pour spout or oil dispenser bottle. Store in the fridge and enjoy for up to 3 weeks.
