Instructions: Combine orange juice, water and basil. Let steep 2 hours. Strain out basil. Add lemon juice and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar. Refrigerate over night. To prepare mimosa, fill a goblet 1/2 to 3/4 full with the flavored orange juice. Add a spike of basil flowers, if available, then fill the remainder of the glass with champagne (or ginger ale). For a different flavor, try using tangerine juice or fruit punch. Recipe makes 6 to 10 servings.
