Instructions

  1. Boil down sugar and water to a reduction (sugar syrup) (takes about 10 minutes), then let them cool in a water bath. Clean, wash and dry the basil leaves. Halve and squeeze the lemon. Remove the white skin from one half of the peel, first cut into fine strips, then into fine cubes. Chop the pepper in a mortar (not in an electric chopper!).
  2. Finely puree the basil with the sugar syrup (best in a blender), add lemon juice to taste. Add yoghurt, lemon zest and pepper, stir to a homogeneous mass.
  3. Fill into a flat bowl (with lid) and place in the freezer for at least four hours (stir every 30 minutes at the beginning) or prepare in the ice cream maker.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
