Homemade Basil Syrup

17Basil - The well-known herb is often automatically associated with "tomato mozzarella" or Italian pasta. With its unmistakable aroma, it often adds the finishing touch to a lunch. But did you know that basil is also considered a medicinal plant? Basil is said to strengthen our digestive organs or calm the nerves, for example. Well - we enjoy our lemonade with homemade basil syrup all the more!

basil syrup recipe

What you need:

• 1x Ball Mason Jar | Spiral | 475ml
• 1x Mason Tap - pourer
• 1 bunch of fresh basil
• 1 glass of water
• 1 glass of sugar

And here's how it works: To begin with, the basil is put into a Mason jar with the water and screwed onto the Mason jar blender . The basil is blended until no more pieces of leaves are visible. The highlight of our blender: you can mix directly in the Mason jar - this saves you having to rinse twice and you can store it directly in the jar. So we mix our syrup directly in the jar. The finished mixture is then put into a saucepan and brought to the boil. Slowly stir in the same amount of sugar. The syrup is boiled over a low heat and then poured into the Ball Mason Jar | Spiral | 475 ml . As soon as the basil syrup in the FAVORITE JAR has cooled, the Mason Tap pourer is screwed onto the Mason Jar. The pourer makes it super easy to dose the homemade syrup. Our favorite recipe is a cool basil lemonade. We fill our Mason jars with ice cubes and mineral water and a small dash of syrup - done! Very refreshing and simply delicious!
