I hope we get to sample this recipe for the 4th! Our basil is so-so, but large enough to use as an addition to wraps, soups, and pasta. Can’t wait to try it in a cocktail or mocktail.

Mangochild, I’m making another batch of basil simple syrup today for the 4th. You’re right, it could work over ice cream. It almost has a cinnamon-like quality.

Mmmm. My basil plants are giving me more than I could ever use as simply herbs to brighten a dish, so your ideas are very welcome. I bet the simple syrup could be used in a lot of ways, even over summer desserts like ice-cream…..
And thank you so much for the giveaway! I’ll send you my mailing info by email.
