Basil Ice Cubes

I harvested some basil today and I had a friend recommend cutting it up and freezing it in ice cubes. Once the ice cubes are frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and then you can just add an ice cube to soups and stews. Super easy!

Freshly harvested basil

Cut it up

Add to ice cubes trays

Add water and then put in freezer. Once they are frozen, pop them out and put in labelled freezer bag :)

Obviously, herb ice cubes wouldn't work for everything. They could be used in soups, stews and sauces, but not so good for putting on garlic bread or anything like that.

Here's the frozen ice cubes. They don't look too pretty, but they work great :) A friend also suggested making them in olive oil instead of water :)
