BASIL LEMONADE
This drink can be made nonalcoholic, but it also has an adult version as well. It is a perfect sipping drink during the summer and adding basil is a refreshing twist to a summer classic, Lemonade.
Servings: 8
What You Need:
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves
- 8 Cups Lemonade (Use a less sugar recipe as you are adding the basil simple syrup to this)
**Optional Adult Version: Vodka 1 shot of vodka per glass (recipe makes 8 glasses)
What To Do:
1. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring the sugar and 1 1/2 cups cold water to a simmer. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat, add the basil, and let cool to room temperature. 3. Strain the syrup into a resealable container and discard the solids.
Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of the basil syrup into each of 8 ice-filled glasses, **Add vodka at this stage if making the adult version.
4. Then fill with lemonade.
5. Garnish with an additional sprig of basil. (You can cover and refrigerate the remaining syrup for up to 2 weeks.)
