Basil Oil

2 C. basil
1 C. olive oil/safflower oil

Combine basil and olive oil in a blender. Puree the mixture until smooth.  In a saucepan, simmer the olive oil and basil puree over medium heat for 1 minute. Pour the heated mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup to remove the basil and allow to cool.  Use measuring cup to pour into bottles.  Basil oil is perfect tomatoes and cheese, or toasted bread.
