drying basil

I have a patch of basil in the yard that is beginning to have huge edible leaves and i can tell that i am going to have a lot as the summer rolls on, probably more than i can or would want to eat all at once. I did a little reasearch and found an interesting storage solution: basil ice cubes...
from this page:
"Leaves can also be combined with olive oil in a food processor or mortar/pestle and frozen in ice cube trays... Frozen basil can then be added to soups, sauces or pesto..."

huh, awesome.
