Start sipping up the summer

In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, basil, honey, and still water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cool for about 20 to 25 minutes until the strawberries are pale red and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Your Strawberry Basil Syrup is ready to be mixed into a large pitcher with Al Rawabi Lemonade and ice cold sparkling water. Add in a few sliced strawberries and basil leaves for a delicious garnish and serve chilled. Your summer days just got refreshed!
