How to Make Cucumber Mint And Basil Soda
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber, 24 fresh mint leaves, and 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves to the syrup.
- Cover and let steep for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for a stronger flavor.
- Strain the cucumber-herb syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a jar, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Fill a 12-ounce glass with ice cubes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the cucumber-herb syrup to the glass.
- Top with soda water.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with a cucumber slice and a sprig of mint.
