While still boiling hot, pour the syrup through a sieve into the clean, warmed bottle and fill to just below the rim. Seal immediately and leave to cool.

Spritzer

Blend the water with the basil until smooth, pour through a fine sieve into glasses. To each glass add 1 tbsp of syrup, lime juice and ice cubes, then top up with sparkling water.
