Freeze Basil in Ice Cube Trays

Learning how to freeze basil in ice cube trays will help preserve your fresh basil so you can use it in recipes through the colder off-season months.

LET’S GET STARTED!

I’ve used this technique for many years and have enjoyed the smell and flavor of fresh basil all year in many recipes.

1. Start off by cleaning the basil by simply running it under water to remove any dirt or unwanted bugs that managed to sneak in.

2. Remove the fresh basil leaves from the stems. Do not chop them, keep the leaves whole. Then take a good number of them, about 5 or 6 leaves and stack them. Make sure the biggest size leaf is on the outside of the stack.
