Basil Lemonade
Published Monday, 12 October, 2015 by Jason Radke
Very refreshing for a hot summer day! By ChameleonJohn / Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1cup sugar
- 1cup fresh basil leaves plus 8 sprigs for garnishing
- 8cups lemonade
Method
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 resealable 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 sprig of basil.
