2. Infusions and drinks
Basil flowers can be used to prepare aromatic infusions and teas. Simply add a few flowers to hot water and let them infuse for a few minutes. This gives a refreshing and slightly scented drink, perfect for enjoying moments of relaxation.
You can also experiment by adding basil flowers to cocktails or soft drinks for a touch of originality.
3. Aromatic oil
Making an aromatic basil oil is an excellent way to preserve its unique flavor and aroma for longer periods. Fill a jar with extra virgin olive oil and add a few basil flowers.
Let it all macerate for a couple of weeks in a dark and cool place. The resulting oil will have a delicate basil flavor that can be used to dress salads, grilled vegetables and much more.
4. Scented essences
Basil flowers can be used to create homemade scented essences. You can make a simple perfume by placing basil flowers in a small bottle with distilled water and letting them steep.
This essence can be used as a personal perfume or as an air freshener. Let the fresh, herbaceous scent of basil flowers fill the air around you.
