editor recipe notes
We adopted the recipes from Jörg Meyers’s Youtube Channel “trinkabenteuer.”
We used 200 grams of Basil, and then we blanched it. After, we used the mixer and mixed it with warm sugar syrup. We used the highest speed for blending and did this for about 2 minutes. So the syrup gets a dark green color. After, we used a sieve to strain just the liquid.
It’s an excellent way to blanch the Basil. You can get more flavor and color out of it, and because of the heat, you kill many germs on the Basil, so you also have a longer expiration time.
We found an excellent Gin that fits perfectly with the Basil Syrup.
