4 1/2 cup - Basil (strip the leaves from the stems, so as to retain the colour and flavour)
15 tsp- Pine nuts
3 Tbsp - Garlic (chopped finely)
1 1/2 Tbsp - Black pepper (grounded)
1/2 cup - Olive oil
2 tsp or as per taste - Salt

Remove this water in a bowl.
Blend the basil, pine nuts, garlic, black pepper gradually adding the olive oil.
Add the salt and little of the ice water, blend it further.
Remove in a bowl.
Note : Adding a little of the ice water helps to reduce the need to use more oil, thus making the pesto healthier.
