How to Make It
1. Step
Make the lemon basil spritzer: In a small pot, combine the water, sugar, and Simple Truth™ Basil. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 1 minute, whisking frequently. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup steep for 30 minutes. Strain into a heatproof container, discarding the basil leaves, and let cool completely.
2. Step
When ready to serve, add 1 tablespoon basil syrup and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to each of 6 glasses and top with 4 ounces Simple Truth™ Italia Prosecco. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a lemon wheel.
