I prepared this using what is in season. Right now in Pennsylvania it is blackberries and blueberries. You can prepare a fruit juice using peaches, pears and other berries. I love this as a base for a simple syrup. To make a simple syrup bring to a boil 1 cup of fruit juice to 1 cup sugar. Simmer until the sugar melts. Add at least a cup of fresh basil while the syrup is still hot. Allow it to cool, strain and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Use it in cocktails, lemonade, vinaigrettes or drizzle on baked good or ice cream.
