Monin – Basil

The “royal herb” as it is referred to in many cultures and primarily in Greek, is an aromatic herb. There are several varieties of basil, from sweet basil used in Mediterranean cuisine and in the famous Italian “pesto,” to Thai basil which has a flavor reminiscent of anise. Like many herbs, basil is very perishable and sensitive. It is used by gently pressing it in a glass by many bartenders who want to add freshness and herbal notes to their drinks. The MONIN Basil syrup will provide the taste and aroma of fresh basil for delightful creations.
