Basil Lemonade

What you need:

• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
• 4 cups fresh basil leaves, torn
• Water
• 
Ice
• A Muddler or wooden spoon

Recipe:
For a quick version of simple syrup, combine sugar and 1 cup of water in a microwave safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Microwave on high for 45 seconds and stir, until sugar is dissolved and liquid is clear. Set aside to cool. Muddle together lemon juice and basil leaves, using a muddler or the base of a wooden spoon to crush the leaves and infuse the juice with basil flavor. Add 2 2/3 cups of cold water and simple syrup, to taste. Pour over ice and enjoy.
