Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the basil leaves in a whatever container you want to use to make the infused vodka (see notes).
  • Pour the vodka over the basil until the container is full. 
  • Seal the container and place it in a cool, dark location for up to 3 days. Strain the vodka through a sieve, discarding the basil. Pour the infused vodka back into the container in which it was infused (or the container of your choice).

Notes

  • You want to use a large bunch of basil
  • A quart mason jar holds 3.5 cups of liquid
  • You want to use a middle-of-the-road vodka. You don't want to use something too high end (leave the Belvedere out of this), but you also don't want to use like... Popov. Go with something like Smirnoff.
