1 lg Bunch basil leaves
1/2 c Light virgin olive oil
1 ea Wash and dry basil leaves,
-and layer them in a flat

the sun for 6 hours. 2. Strain oil 3 times through a strainer lined
with 5 or 6 layers of damp cheesecloth; do not press down on the

best to make small quantities, replenishing them as needed. Martha
