A ridiculously refreshing pitcher. Basil gives a lovely herbal edge to this fragrant gin and lemon drink.

Press GO to start step-by-step mode and keep your screen awake as you cook.
Step 1.
Add your caster sugar and water to a small saucepan set over a low heat. Gently heat until your sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool to room temperature.
Step 2.
Add your basil leaves to a jug, then bash with the base of a wooden spoon to bruise the leaves and release their oils.
Step 3.
Tip in the gin and some of the sugar syrup at a ratio of 2:1 gin to sugar syrup. Add the juice of the lemons and your apple juice then fill with ice. Mix well with a long spoon so all the ingredients are combined and cold.
Step 4.
Rub the edge of your serving glasses with the lemon skins and then dip into the Maldon Flaky Sea Salt.
Step 5.
Pour your drink into your prepared glasses, then top with a leaf of basil. Enjoy responsibly.

The specs are all wrong for a single serving so the scale up is also off. . 100ml gin? 75g of sugar!!
