  1. Put half a glass of water in a small pan with the sugar and warm over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is clear.
  2. Take off the heat, add the washed basil leaves and leave to infuse for 10 minutes, then strain and stir in the lemon juice; cool the pan in a bowl of cold water.
  3. Pour into a container and freeze for 2 hours, until the mixture has set at the edges but is still soft in the middle.
  4. Transfer it to the blender with the egg white and blend for 1 minute, until pale, creamy and free of crystals.
  5. Return to the freezer for an hour and serve in scoops or spoonfuls.
