Found a recipe in a magazine and noticed it had Jalapeno in it so I tried it out and love it!
4 cups of water
3 cups of sugar
2 cups fresh basil (about 1.5 oz)
1 2-liter bottle of club soda
2 cups lemon juice
1 sliced Jalapeno
Mix and serve.
I actually grow basil and had a bag of lemons from a neighbors tree so most of my ingredients where fresh.
I tried it as is and it was nice light and refreshing with a little bit of zip from the pepper. The 2nd batch I did a couple of days ago I used an ahi-pineapple pepper and actually preferred it with the Jalapeno.
On a side note add an oz of good tequila to your glass if you want to add a little kick. I drank about 5 glasses it was so good.
