Today, I’m showing you how to make a beautiful vibrant green basil oil. Fresh and full of flavour, this bright green plating oil can be used as garnish, on salads, in dressings, on cheese and anywhere else that the bright flavour of basil is normally goes.
I’ve done a similar video to this in the past which you can check out here:
That method is slightly more complicated and time consuming while this method is super easy and only takes about 5 minutes.
Bright Green Basil Oil Recipe:
100 g fresh basil
50 g fresh baby spinach
250 ml neutral flavoured oil (light canola/ vegetable)
Method:
Blitz everything together on high in a blender for approximately 3 minutes. The heat from the base of the blender will heat through the herbs and release a more vibrant colour. Once the oil is warm to the touch and steaming a little, place a medium sized bowl over an ice bath and line it with a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Pour in the oil into the strainer and leave to seep through. Once all the oil has strained through, place in a container or squeeze bottle and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Nice 👍
The one time when the blender overheating is a good thing 💃
I’ve been watching your channel for a month now, and your videos are really nice to watch when I get bored.
🌹😋
You overheat the basil and it will turn green-brown. Basil oil should be nice green dark color.
beautiful!
How "basily" does the oil turn out to be?
Love your videos! How long can you put it in the fridge to stay fresh and green? Greetings from Germany
Puuuuuuurest greeeeeeeen! 💚
question: You added the spinache only for the taste?
Hello nice video😊 hope you're well?
Was just wondering, after you've put the sieve and cloth over the ice bowl, to let it strain, how do you separate the oil from the water, or did you just switch the bowls out? Thankyou 😊
I'm thinking about putting this on a Margherita pizza!
this is the first healthy recipe ive watched made dy an american
Nice one..
How can i do this without a heated blender? So with a regular mixer and occasionally in the microwave? Or preheated oil?
What's your opinion about blanching the basil leaves and shocking it up in ice water?? We follow this method to make pesto in our restaurant. It comes out pretty green in color.
Nice one!! Quick question: how long could it last? Days? Weeks? Thanks!
Lovely idea
Wow this is so cool!
After you make it, how you preserve it? Room temperature like any other oil?
Nice one
Excellent video.. Thank you very much.
color discard
can i put water instead of oil?
Ooh, so vibrant. However, it would be such a waste to throw away that green herby pulp. I suppose one can turn that into a sauce or pesto?
Sorry, but where are the recipes?
Can i use this as additional scented oil for homemade basil soap?
Would this work for different herbs in the same way. Would you always use spinach in that case too?
No colza please, olive oil evo
Can I use hemp oil or olive oil thank you.
Keep coming back to this. THank you
What do you think of cooking this off in a saucepan for a few minutes to evaporate the excess water and get a more thick oil consistency? I'm trying to think of whether this will change the color or taste. Cheers!
How long this this last out of the fridge?
