Lime Basil Simple Syrup - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  1-2 hrs

ingredients

1 cup white superfine sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup lime basil leaves, torn in half

directions

Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the basil leaves. Cover and let sit for an hour or until the syrup is completely cool.

Remove the basil, pour the syrup into a glass bottle with a nonreactive cap, and store it in your refrigerator.

NOTE: Add a generous splash of the syrup to a glass of chilled club soda or a shot of vodka over crushed ice for a refreshing summer drink. Garnish with a slice of lime and a sprig of the basil.
