Product Details
Basil essential oil has a fresh, herbaceous aroma that can be calming and refreshing. It also adds a bright, sweet and slightly peppery flavour to savoury dishes, sauces, breads, soups, chicken, seafood and drinks.
How to use
Topical: Dilute one drop with one drop of V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex or olive oil and apply to the desired area as needed.
Other Uses:
- Flavour your favourite pasta sauce recipes with Basil essential oil. Add Rosemary essential oil or Oregano essential oil for even more flavour.
- Add to deli salads, Asian- or Italian-inspired soups, and custom salad dressings or vinaigrettes to share with family and friends.
- Boil pasta noodles in basil-infused water for a subtle flavour.
- Pair with lime juice and melons, such as watermelon and rockmelon, for a fresh summer treat. For a more complex flavour profile, garnish with feta cheese.
- Mix with a mild tea, such as chamomile. Add a dash of honey to sweeten the experience.
- Put 3-5 drops of Basil oil in each of your shoes to keep them smelling fresh. If your shoes have plastic or leather soles, put the oil onto a cotton ball and leave it overnight.
Aromatic: Diffuse for up to 30 minutes, three times daily.
Culinary: Add sparingly to food and drinks. For a lighter flavour, dip a toothpick in the oil and swirl it through the preparation.
