Citrus-Basil Syrup

Ingredients

  • 1 cups
    Water
  • 1 cups
    White/Light
  • 1.5 inch
    Hangar 1 Buddha's Hand Citron Vodka

    peeled and diced, including the flesh of the fingers

  • 1.75 leaves
    Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers

    dried

  • 1 oz
    Lemon Juice
  • 2.5 leaves
    Basil

    fresh

  • 1 peel
    Lime

    pith removed

Instructions

Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium, then add the diced Buddha's hand, makrut lime leaves, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and add the basil leaves. Cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes — steep off heat longer for a more pronounced basil flavor. Remove from heat, add the lime peel, and allow the syrup to cool completely. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a nonreactive container. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
