Prepare the Basil Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts water and sugar (1 cup each) along with a handful of fresh basil leaves. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for about 30 minutes. Strain out the basil leaves and store the syrup in the refrigerator until cooled.
