1
Blend the raspberries into a puree using a blender and strain through a fine sieve to remove the seeds, ideally getting rid of all seeds. Place the cleaned puree and large basil leaves into a clean blender bowl and blend. The basil and raspberry should not become a homogeneous mass: basil should be visible to the eye and felt on the tongue. Refrigerate the blended mixture overnight.
- White raspberry: 1 kg
- Green basil leaves: 15 pieces

If there is no freezer, immediately pour the sweet mixture into a container and stir its contents every 20-30 minutes until it sets. If you do it less often, you'll get granita, which is also very tasty.
