Ingredients
-
1 cup of sugar
-
1 cup of firmly packed David Fresh basil leaves
-
6 cups water, divided
-
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 6 to 8 lemons)
Instructions
1. In a medium sauce pan, muddle the sugar and basil together with a wooden spoon.
2. Add 2 cups of water and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until all of the sugar has dissolved.
3. Remove from the heat and allow the basil to steep in the syrup until cool. Once cool strain the simple syrup into a pitcher.

Serving suggestions:
