Mix the apple juice with the sugar and the agar powder. Mix it well and then bring it to a boil for at least 30 seconds.
Meanwhile place a bowl in a deep ice bath and transfer the basil leaves in the bowl.
When the gel base has boiled you can pour it on the basil leaves. Then you need to mix it so the base can cool down as fast as possible and the basil doesn’t turn brown.
Once it has set transfer it into a blender and blend it till smooth. Beware the gel doesn’t heat up too much from the friction, then it will also loose it’s green color.
Now to bring it to the next level I always vacuum my gels. This will insure you get a clear gel with a more intense flavor.
