Deep Fried Basil Fail

Few days ago I've heard of deep frying herbs. When I ate something like that it reminded me of dry sea-weed. I really liked the taste, the texture and the idea and I tried to do it myself.
I don't know what I did wrong but I failed badly. My basil burned in a split second.

I am going to try to do it until I finally manage. I'll also ask a friend how he has done it.

Wish me luck !
