Garden Fresh Basil Oil – How to Make Your Own — 24 Comments

  1. 5 stars
    We love our basil and making pesto. This year we don’t have any herbs — unfortunately since we moved but we’re hoping for next year. There’s nothing like homemade oils made from fresh herbs.

    • Claudia,
      I’ve heard so many people struggling this summer with either drought or flooding. I was lucky that my garden went crazy. Wish I could send you some basil.

    You have garden fresh basil. How lucky!! I love basil but we only get it from the super. It has a real shot life so I often make pesto and save it in the fridge. This sounds so fresh. Next time I’m going to make some basil oil.

    • We’ve had a good year for the garden at my house. I’m so excited about this basil … and my tomato plant is a giant! Now if only the tomatoes would turn red!

    I never new Basil Oil was so easy to make. Thank you for enlightening me. I basil plants but just usually chop up the basil for pasta dishes. Can’t wait to try this

  4. Basil is one of my favorite herbs, I have some it’s a staple in my kitchen. My daughter likes to use it on her pizza. A drizzle of this basil oil would be a nice finish to pizza.

    I too have too much basil in my kitchen garden. Not fond of pesto either. I like your idea of making flavor rich fresh basil oil. I am going to try it.

    This is genius! I have been making all the pestos with my greens this summer, this oil will make a nice (and yummy) alternative! Love that it can be stored in the freezer as well.

    Basil is such a fragrant and amazing herb. I never tried this basil oil. But now I can’t wait to pair it with something. Looks delicious. I love the color.

    • Isn’t this color amazing! I can’t wait to pull it out of the freezer in January when everything is brown and white and cold … we’ll have a taste of summer!
