I like to freeze the fresh basil from the garden.  First I wash the leaves
then cut into julienne strip, chiffonade or coarse chop, then proceed to place
them in ice cube trays and fill with water.  Once frozen I remove and place
into freezer bags or other containers.

When I want basil I simply thaw a cube or two or add directly to the item.
Works great.
