In a saucepan, add the water and sugar and bring to a boil.
Remove from the heat, add the basil and steep for 2 minutes. Remove and discard the basil.
For the Limeade
Place the ice, coconut water, 1 1/2 cups of the strawberries (hulled), the juice from the limes, the lychees and 1 cup of the simple syrup in a blender and process until well mixed.
Pour into a pitcher filled with ice.
Slice the other 1/2 cup of strawberries and add them to the pitcher.
