Magic of basil

I've had it before. Mixed it all together after a trip to Italy, where they serve this in the corner gelato shops. It's actually kind of magic, and I had forgotten all about it.

I brought the ingredients to a couple of friends of ours yesterday. Their newborn and our slightly older son had had the show (by screaming) half the evening. Tasting a spoonful of this made me forget the noise level for a moment - leaving just the surprising blend of simple tastes and an aftermath of smooth freshness. Magic.

So here you are, the recipe to a magic moment.

You need:
1 food processor
1 hand full of fresh basil leaves (fresh mint leaves works fine as well)
1 bucket of vanilla ice cream

And of course someone to eat this delicious mixup with.
