Chef's Notes
Drizzle this aromatic oil over sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, green beans, potatoes, bread, green salads, and grilled or poached chicken or fish. Choose a mild-flavored oil so it doesn't overwhelm the basil; the oil should take on the flavor and fragrance of the basil you use. For more intense flavor, after step 2, cover and chill oil up to 1 day. Strain (if solidified, let come to room temperature first).
