In a medium saucepan, combine water and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and then cook over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved, forming a simple syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

In the meantime, combine the combine the strawberries and basil in a blender or food processor. Pulse until mixture forms a smooth puree and ingredients are combined. This should give you about two cups of strawberry-basil puree.

Pour strawberry-basil puree into simple syrup. Stir to combine. Pour mixture into popsicle molds. For best results, allow to freeze for at least eight hours.
