Recipe Notes
Make your own cucumber, basil and cardamom syrup mix. Using a 1:1 ratio (one cup sugar to one cup water)., add both to a saucepan and cook only long enough to dissolve the sugar – you're not making caramel so don't let it take on any colour. Add some fresh cucumber, basil and cardamom, and allow to infuse. Cool completely before using.
