Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
In a saucepan, bring 2 liters of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add sugar. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar, or substitute sugar with honey. If using honey, add it to the cooled syrup.
Thoroughly rinse each basil leaf under cold running water. Add the basil leaves to the saucepan with the hot syrup.
Rinse the mint leaves and add them to the saucepan.
Wash and scrub the lemon. Slice approximately 1/3 of the lemon, including the peel, into thin slices. Add the lemon slices to the saucepan. Avoid adding more than 1/3 of the lemon, as excessive lemon peel may introduce bitterness. You can also squeeze lemon juice into the beverage for added zest.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the mixture infuse for 15-30 minutes. The longer the drink sits, the more intense and vibrant its color becomes. Strain the drink through a sieve to remove the solids. Your deliciously aromatic basil, mint, and lemon drink is now ready to enjoy!
