5. Close the jar and lightly shake the jar for 2 minutes, or until the basil leaves are completely soggy. Taste test to ensure that the syrup now has notes of basil.

Garnish: Garnish with three thinly-sliced peach slices layered on top of one another and skewered on a bamboo stick. The peaches should form a mini “stairway” resting on the rim of the glass. Add a fresh sprig of basil, lightly slapping the sprig first to release the aroma. Add a reusable or compostable straw to the drink and enjoy!
