Usually, my basil plant is used for Basil Martini's on Ice (my absolute favorite summer cocktail). However, the mocktail version of a Basil Martini is no fun because all that's left is lime, basil and simple syrup. Not so appealing without the vodka. :)
Anyway, I thought I'd try this Basil Ice Cream recipe from the blog 17 and Baking. There are some fantastic recipes on this site I want to try. Anyway, click here for the recipe.
Enjoy this summer treat! It's very custardy, but fresh.
