225 g sugar
150 ml lemon juice
30 g fresh basil leaves
150 ml milk
400 ml water
Boil sugar and water. Add basil leaves and lemon juice to the syrup, cook for a minute and then remove from heat, cover and let rest for 24 hours. After a day, strain the syrup, pour in milk, stir, and freeze. During the first 5-6 hours, stir sherbet every half an hour.
Note: I made this sherbet as a part of Sale & Pepe Serbia tasting team, for May 2009 issue and I am sending this to Chris from Mele Cotte who is hosting Weekend Herb Blogging this week.

So pretty and refreshing – a must try when my basil is ready.
WOW! extra!
fenomenalno!
I cannot wait to try this! Planted lots of basil seeds and have a bunch of seedlings growing. This looks like the perfect dessert on a hot summer day.
This looks wonderful – there’s nothing quite like the scent of fresh basil, and in this context it must be the most refreshing thing in the world.
Wow, that sherbet looks delightful and so refreshing! An unusual flavor.Cheers,Rosa
