• 3 ½ cups peach nectar
• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine such as Pinot Grigio

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, basil leaves, half of the peach nectar and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, crushing the basil leaves with the back of a spoon to release their flavor. Simmer just long enough to melt the sugar, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
