Ingredients
- ¼ cup sea salt
- ½ tsp dried basil 5-6 large leaves
- ½ tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Remove basil leaves from stem and wash thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Spread leaves out on a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds at a time, checking on them in between each round. The basil leaves should be dry and crunchy in texture after about 1 1/2 minutes (or 2-3 rounds).
- In a small bowl, crush the leaves together with your fingers until finely crumbled. Set aside.
- Repeat process with the lemon zest. The lemon zest should be dry and crunchy after just 1 minute, though.
- Add dried zest to the bowl with dried basil and crumble mixture between fingers until well blended.
- Mix with sea salt. Store in an air-tight container for up to 12 months.
