Strawberry Basil Frozen Yogurt

Strawberry Basil Frozen Yogurt

Adapted from Gnom-Gnom

Ingredients

Serves 5

handful fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

¼ cup / 34 gr agave nectar

2 tablespoons water

1 cup / 10 oz / 285 gr 0% Greek yogurt

1 lb / 453 gr fresh organic strawberries

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

In a small saucepan combine agave nectar, water and basil. Bring to a gentle simmer on medium to low heat, stirring occasionally. Let simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Pour basil syrup through a fine sieve into a small bowl. Set aside.

Place strawberries, basil syrup, yogurt and lemon juice in the bowl of blender and process until smooth. Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour.

Pour mixture into an ice-cream maker and begin freezing according to instructions (my ice-cream maker takes about 20 minutes to get soft and smooth frozen yogurt). Remove frozen yogurt and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
