For a sweeter soda, increase the sugar in the syrup by 1/4 cup. Experiment with different herbs! Fresh mint, rosemary, or even a touch of lavender can add a unique twist. To make freezer pops, simply pour the soda mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Basil Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the fresh basil leaves, return to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes. (Time: 15 minutes)
02
StepCool the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the basil syrup cool slightly. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. (Time: 10 minutes)
03
StepBlueberry Puree: In a blender, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup of water, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepCombine and Strain: Pour the blueberry puree into a pitcher. Remove the basil leaves from the chilled syrup and discard them. Stir the basil-infused syrup into the blueberry puree. (Time: 5 minutes)
05
StepSparkling Finish: Gently pour the chilled carbonated water into the pitcher with the blueberry-basil mixture. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose too much fizz. (Time: 2 minutes)
06
StepServe: Serve immediately over ice and garnish with a few fresh blueberries or basil leaves, if desired.
