Soaking the Seeds To soak basil seeds, add 8 ounces (237 ml or 1 cup) of water per 1 tablespoon (13 grams or 0.5 ounces) of basil seeds. Use more water if desired, as the seeds only absorb as much as needed. Using too little water may cause the seeds to clump as they hydrate. Let the seeds soak for about 15 minutes. As the seeds swell, they approximately triple in size. Additionally, the gel-like outer portion turns gray. The center of a soaked basil seed remains black. This part has a light crunch when you chew it — similar to tapioca. Strain the soaked basil seeds and add them to your recipe.
