Basil oil

Basil oil is a simple and flavorful oil that you can quickly make yourself. Fresh basil leaves are blended with olive oil in a blender or food processor to make a beautiful green. Optionally, you can add a clove of garlic for extra flavor. Pour the oil into a clean bottle and use it as a dressing or flavoring for various dishes.
