Lime Basil Syrup

For the lime basil syrup, wash the limes with hot water and rub dry. Finely grate 1 tablespoon of peel. Squeeze the juice from the fruit. Peel and finely grate the ginger root.

Then filter the syrup through a hair sieve and decant into carefully cleaned bottles. Drizzle a little alcohol over the top, light and seal immediately. Store the lime-basil syrup in a cool, dark place.
