Basil Sherbet



Basil Sherbet



225 g sugar
150 ml lemon juice
30 g fresh basil leaves
150 ml milk
400 ml water

Boil sugar and water. Add basil leaves and lemon juice to the syrup, cook for a minute and then remove from heat, cover and let rest for 24 hours. After a day, strain the syrup, pour in milk, stir, and freeze. During the first 5-6 hours, stir sherbet every half an hour.

Note: I made this sherbet as a part of Sale & Pepe Serbia tasting team, for May 2009 issue and I am sending this to Chris from Mele Cotte who is hosting Weekend Herb Blogging this week.

    I cannot wait to try this! Planted lots of basil seeds and have a bunch of seedlings growing. This looks like the perfect dessert on a hot summer day.

    This looks wonderful - there's nothing quite like the scent of fresh basil, and in this context it must be the most refreshing thing in the world.

    oh girl! I so want to try this! (It's a shame I don't have any kitchen for a month or so, since we already moved from Shanghai!!!).

    As soon as I got a steady home and kitchen will try your recipe. This call for summer!! (and maybe a cocktail or two...caipirinha perhaps?)

    hugs
