I will be somewhat absent in the next couple of weeks but follow me here. I will be Instagram-ing. Wishing you all a great summer and to those of you who are experiencing winter, take solace that you are not enduring the humidity here.
1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar (adjust according to sweetness of strawberries*)
1/2 cup fresh basil, julienned (adjust according to taste)
1-2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
In a bowl with a lid, add the sugar and the basil to the strawberries, mix, cover with a lid and let macerate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Best to macerate overnight. Stir once or twice while macerating. Add to a food processor and whizz to a smooth consistency. Churn according to manufacturer's instructions, scoop to a container with a lid and freeze for at least a few hours. Let thaw a tad before serving.
*I wouldn't recommend using less than 1/2 a cup of sugar as it contributes to the smooth consistency of the sorbet.

Deleteאני מתה על גלידת תות ואני מתהההההההההההה על בזיליקום
ReplyDeleteאבל חייבת להגיד שאף פעם לא ניסיתי לשלב בזיליקום במתוקים ובטח שלא בגלידה.
סיקרנת אותי מאדדדדדדדדדד :)
כן לקח לי שנים לשלב כוסברה בזיליקום ןכד במאכלים מתוקים. כנראה שהפכתי לאמריקאים חחחח:) אבל באמת שזה טעים.
