As for our co-conspirators here, oh just the greatest purveyors of luxury liquids on the planet …

Basil Simple Syrup

How-to
First prep the Simple Syrup:
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain syrup into a clean container and refrigerate. Discard basil.
