Basil Lemonade Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, plus 8 springs for garnishing
- 8 cups lemonade
- 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.
- Remove from heat, add the basil, and let cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup into a reseable container and discard the solids.
- Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of the basil syrup into each of 8 ice-filled glasses, then fill with lemonade. Garnish with an additional spring of basil. (You can cover and refrigerate the remaining syrup for up to 2 weeks).
