Found this recipe in a copy of Bon appetit . Looking for a substitute for the pop that was being consumed in this house. Great taste when added to a glass of cold water. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1/2 cucumber, diced |
10 basil leaves |
10 mint leaves |
Directions:
1. Combine water and sugar in sauce pan.
2. Bring to simmer and stir until sugar has dissolved.
3. Turn heat off and add cucumber, basil and mint.
4. Remove from heat, place lid on pan and leave overnight, (longer the mixture sits, the better it tastes).
5. Strain and store in fridge.
6. Add 2 tbsp of syrup to 8 oz. of good cold water.
