Organic herbal syrup with basil flavor – bold, fresh, and slightly peppery for lemonade and iced tea.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBacanha Basil Syrup\u003c\/strong\u003e is an organic herbal syrup made from cane sugar, water, and natural basil flavoring from the Parisian syrup manufacturer Bacanha. 400 ml in a glass bottle, enough for about 20 drinks, non-alcoholic. Not a pesto, not a food coloring, not a ready-to-drink beverage – it is a syrup that you mix yourself with water and lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBasil Syrup from Bacanha\u003c\/strong\u003e is called \"Sirop de Basilic Brut\" by the manufacturer and belongs to their herbal range, \"Plantes et Herbes.\" Herbal syrup might sound like something from a pharmacy, but in France, it is a perfectly normal summer drink: syrup in a glass, top with cold water, and it's ready. Basil is an unusual candidate for this, as the herb usually ends up on tomatoes or in pasta. Bacanha takes that very character—the herbaceous scent with a slightly peppery edge—and packs it as a natural aroma into a syrup made of organic cane sugar and water. The manufacturer calls the result a refreshing concentrate of the basil plant, intended for iced tea and lemonade, and categorizes the variety as one of its \"Incontournables,\" the varieties that the company considers essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe basil syrup has a bold taste of fresh basil, green and savory, with a slightly peppery note on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has crushed a basil leaf knows the scent: herbaceous, slightly sweet, with a sharpness reminiscent of pepper and clove. The natural aroma carries this scent into the syrup, cane sugar provides the sweetness, and citric acid adds a touch of freshness. Cane sugar is the primary ingredient; according to the manufacturer, a \"Sirop Brut\" is still less sweet than classic syrup. When diluted, the syrup acts like a cold basil-infused water with sweetness, distinctly greener than any fruit syrup. Those expecting a fruity summer lemonade will find the syrup to be herbal. For those who love basil and would prefer it in a glass rather than on a plate, this is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe house recipe is called Basil Limo: 2 cl of basil syrup, 1 cl of lemon juice, and 3 ice cubes in a glass, filled up with cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eStill or sparkling, depending on your mood; with sparkling water, it becomes a herbal lemonade, with still water, a basil water for dining. The ratio is about 1 part syrup to 8 parts water, so one bottle is enough for about 20 glasses. For iced tea, brew green or black tea, let it cool down, and add 2 cl of syrup per glass. For something bolder, try the manufacturer’s \"Spicy Basil\" mocktail: 2 cl basil syrup, 1 cl lemon juice, 6 cl passion fruit purée, two to three drops of hot chili sauce, and 4 ice cubes, all shaken in a shaker. Bacanha bundles the variety with passion fruit and bergamot as an \"aperitivo package\"; at the home bar, this syrup replaces simple syrup while adding the herbal element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne bottle contains 400 ml. Store in a cool, dry place; keep refrigerated after opening and consume promptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drizzle a tablespoon of basil syrup over strawberries or ripe tomato wedges, let sit for ten minutes, then serve with a splash of dark balsamic vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parisian syrup manufacturer Bacanha offers around 40 individual varieties in five categories, from citrus fruits and blossoms to herbs and spices – the basil syrup belongs to the herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs varied as the types are, the blueprint is the same: organic cane sugar from South America as the main ingredient, water, and a natural aroma that the manufacturer states is developed in France, in the Grasse region. Production has taken place in the Paris region since the company's founding in 2013, currently in a studio in the Seine-et-Marne department, from ingredient selection to bottling in glass. Heating is done gently at a low temperature to ensure the aroma is preserved. All 15 Bacanha varieties we carry are certified organic and bear the EU organic logo.
