Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup grated apple
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 2 hearty sprigs basil leaves (about 12 good sized leaves)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 small apple, thinly sliced for garnish
  • basil leaves for garnish
  • 1 bottle prosecco

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan combine the water, grated apple, ginger, basil sprigs, and honey. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 8-12 minutes until the liquid is infused. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain the solids from the liquids pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to release all of the syrup. Discard the solids.

To serve

  1. Place 2-3 tablespoons apple basil syrup in desired glass, a champagne flute is great if you have them on hand, top with prosecco then garnish with a slice of apple and basil.
