Method
Preparation
Rinse the fresh basil leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the fresh basil leaves and vodka. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the basil, releasing its oils.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 24 hours to infuse.
Straining and Freezing
Strain the Infused Vodka
After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the basil leaves.
Optional Sweetening
If desired, add simple syrup and lemon zest to the strained vodka and stir well.
Freeze
Pour the infused vodka into ice cube trays and freeze until solid, about 4-6 hours.
