    yum! so refrshing and classy! changes I propse: 1/2 cup less sugar + an additional 1/2 bunch (at least basil, some lime juice. used 12oz sparkling - probably wont use any next time. also, syrup doesnt have to be chilled. next time would try adding champagne or vodka.

    VERY good lemonade - with a few alterations to the original recipe.

    I've made this twice now (third batch's simple syrup is cooling as I type and have modified it each time as follows: 2 cups of water for the simple syrup AND 1 full liter of chilled lemon flavored sparkling water.

    One word - DELICIOUS. The basil infusion is great and served with soda water ever so refreshing on a hot day.
