Lemon Basil Gin

I grew lemon basil the past 2 years...it has a great lemony aroma, and I like using it to flavor water. Shove a clean sprig of lemon basil in a bottle of water, let it sit overnight, and you've got a tasty beverage.  I was reading a great article about infusing flavors into liquor, and it hit me - I need to marry lemon basil to gin.

My cocktail of choice is a classic gin and tonic...ice, gin, tonic, and a twist of lime.  If I'm
having a mixed drink, it generally will be that.  The idea of my favorite cocktail infused with a zippy herb from my garden was irresistible.

So, it was ridiculously simple...
1. Pick the lemon basil
2. Wash the lemon basil
3. Shove the lemon basil in a clean mason jar.
4. Fill jar with gin and put on a lid.
5. Leave it on the table and shake it every time you walk by.
6. Let it steep 4 days, then strain the gin.  Disard the lemon basil.

Labeling is important, or unfortunate disposal of your tasty gin by other family members could happen.  Leaves in a mason jar are not normal.

The gin retains a yellow-greenish tint from the leaves.  Yes, it looks like a jar of pee.  You're very mature.

Diluted with ice and tonic water, the mixed drink on the right doesn't have much of the yellowish color left, but it has a ton of delicious lemon basil flavor.  It did not need any lime.  My wife does not like gin and tonic, but she took a sip of this and wanted more.

Any suggestions for other herb/liquor combinations?
