Improved Blanched Green Basil Syrup

steps of production

1. Step: 1

   Pour one ltr of Water into the Kettle. And let it heat up. Add 1kg of sugar to the Pitcher. After 5 minutes of cooling the water, pour it into the pitcher and make a simple sugar syrup. While cooling down, move over to Step 2.

2. Step: 2

   Put into your pot around 3-4 ltr of water. Then, heat it up. Wait until it’s boiling. Put the Basil inside for about 15 seconds. After removing it, put it in a bowl of cold water and ice. Let it sit for 1 minute and stir it sometimes. Remove it from the water. Squeeze the water out of the blanched basil with your hands. Cut it into smaller parts.

3. Step: 3

   Put a part of the warm sugar syrup and the blanched Basil into the mixer. Use the highest speed for 2 minutes and blend it well.

4. Step: 4

   Pour the basil spirit and the salt water into the pitcher now. Place the Mesh Funnel on the Pitcher and slowly pour the green basil syrup over it. Use a spoon to slowly let the syrup run through the funnel. Once there is almost no liquid, you can put on the gloves and squeeze out the leftovers with your hands.

5. Step: 5

   Pour now the syrup into the bottles. I used Platik bottles, because not you can also store them easily in a freezer for several months without any breakage =)
