Abundant Basil Leaves – Dried and Bottled
Browsing recipes is part and parcel of #cb (call it phase 2 or whatsoever but it’s essentially cb lar. Or cb1.5 🤷🏻♀️). A lot of recipes use dried basil. I was going to order a bottle of basil on RedMart then it just occurred to me what a goondu I was! Lots and lots of organic basil in my yard and I was going to pay for it on RedMart?!
So I harvested the leaves and air dried them. Looks like the ones in bottles ya?? Except mine aren’t shredded yet.
Upon advice from my friend, I baked them in my oven at the lowest temperature for 30 mins to make sure there’s no more moisture trapped in the leaves to prevent mould. Baking them now!
They’ve shrunk a lot after baking but they smell really fragrant!!
Time to bottle them!!
