More Basil!!

Is it possible to have too much basil? Nope!! Propogating basil is very easy. Let me show you how! You might remember in the EZ Pizza as well as the Tomato + Basil Recipe , I mentioned leaving the top two basil leaves on the stem. Here’s why!

All you have to do is place that stem is a glass of water. I like to put it in a north facing window, where the basil gets lots of light, but not direct sun. Just let the basil hang out in its glass of water.

Change the water every other day or so to keep the water clean.

You’ll see roots in about one week.

After a couple of weeks or so, the basil usually has enough roots to place in soil or in a pot.
