  1. Okay - not sure how to do this. I'm they type that needs the step-by-step in a picture show. I'm interested because instead of the basil, I was thinking spearmint leaves. What do you think?

  2. definetly! yes- yes I have done this with mint from the garden. just be careful - it is much more intense than the basil. also - lavender with white chocolate - careful it doesn't infuse too much ... v strong. also just use what you have in the garden. no sprays!!
