Bring a pot of water to a boil. Have a bowl of ice water ready and set aside.

Step 2

Blanch the basil leaves in boiling water until the leaves are bright green and slightly soft, about 10 seconds. Remove basil leaves through a fine mesh strainer and place in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain basil, wrap in paper towels, and squeeze lightly to remove excess moisture.
