Lower the heat and simmer, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes; let cool slightly, then refrigerate until cold. Strain into a clean container, pressing down on the basil to extract any liquids; discard the basil. 2. In a pitcher, combine the basil syrup, gin, lemon juice and triple sec.
