Ensure herbs are dry to prevent oil splatter. Use a generous amount of ice for the ice bath.
2
Place the washed and chopped herbs, neutral oil, and salt into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth, vibrant green, and warm to the touch (this helps extract maximum flavor and color).
