Fresh sweet basil is best stored like a bouquet of flowers. Trim the stems and place the basil in a glass of water, covering the leaves loosely with a plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator; change the water every 1-2 days. Alternatively, you can dry basil leaves by hanging them upside down in a cool, dark, and dry place. Once dried, store in an airtight container away from light and heat to preserve its flavor. Basil can also be frozen; either blanch the leaves briefly before freezing or blend them with a little olive oil to create a pesto-like base before freezing in ice cube trays.
