Jam

Basil Syrup

Spritzer

Method

Jam

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jam

    In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh strawberries, rhubarb, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the fruits break down and the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the jam to cool before transferring it to a jar and refrigerating.

Basil Syrup

  1. 3

    Make the Basil Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the fresh basil leaves and simmer for 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Strain the Syrup

    Remove from heat and let it cool. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar, discarding the basil leaves. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Spritzer

  1. 5

    Mix the Spritzer

    In a glass, combine 1 tablespoon of the housemade strawberry rhubarb jam, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of basil syrup.

  2. 6

    Add Soda Water

    Fill the glass with ice cubes and top with soda water. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
