Basil Lemon Syrup
- 4 ounces fresh basil leaves
- 4 cups water

Triple Berry Basil Lemonade
- 8 cups lemonade (store bought or homemade) (I love Minute Maid 15 calorie)
- 1 1/2 cups Smirnoff Red, White & Berry vodka

Instructions
Berry Basil Ice Cubes
- Place lemonade into ice cube tray and place a few berries into each cube along with a few strips of fresh basil.

Basil Lemon Syrup*
- In a medium sauce pan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature
*You will have extra as this makes about 5 cups of syrup. We use it to sweeten our tea, lemonade and cocktails. It won't go to waste!
