Ingredients
Servings
20 cl Gin
12 cl Lemon juice
12 cl Simple syrup
12 Thai basil leaves
25 cl Coconut milk
10 cl Sugar
Ice
Step 1
3 cl Simple syrup -
3 Thai basil leaves
First, begin with creating the basil simple syrup. As with simple syrup, it can be wise to make a bigger batch at once. In that case, use the same ratio. Pour the simple syrup into a mixer and completely ravage the leaves until you cant see any bits. Then strain and save the, now thai basil simple syrup, for later.

Step 2
6¼ cl Coconut milk -
2½ cl Sugar
As with the previous step, this too can be wise to make a bigger batch at once considering the time and effort. Do also note that a cream siphon, which will be used later on, can require a bit of fluid to perform well. Consider this ratio as a guideline. If you cant find coconut milk you can replace it for cocunut cream, but make sure the cream is light and consistent. Pour the ingredients in a pot and let it cook while stirring. It's done once the sugar is completely dissolved. Then let the result be kept in the fridge to cool down, at least for a few hours.
