When substituting basil for thyme, use about three times the amount of basil since basil has a milder flavor compared to thyme. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, you can use 3 teaspoons (or 1 tablespoon) of dried basil. Fresh basil can also be used; in that case, use about 1 tablespoon of fresh basil for every teaspoon of dried thyme. Adjust according to your taste preferences, as individual palates may vary.
