water

basil leaves

Combine water, sugar, and basil leaves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let syrup steep, about 30 minutes.


Pour syrup into a sterilized glass jar through a mesh strainer to remove basil leaves; let cool.


Great simple recipe that will take normal cocktails to a new level. I used it to add sweetness to a watermelon, apple, lime and mango juice cocktail. It really pulled it together.

I used it for Strawberry Basil Lemonade- It was wonderful and easy to make and freeze

I let mine steep for several hours (b/c I forgot about it), and it is perfect. Pairs nicely with gin and ice. A great summer refresher!

Made this today for a dinner party to serve with Lemon sorbet.  Big hit!  No changes the recipe. Will definitely make again.
