Basil Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan add water, sugar, and fresh basil leaves and bring to a boil stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
After simmering, remove from the heat and let the syrup sit for 30 minutes. Using a strainer for basil leaves, pour the basil simple syrup into a glass container with a lid to let it finish cooling and for easy serving.
Simple syrup stays good for around 30 days with refrigeration.
