Basil Lemonade
Author: Stephanie
Recipe type: Drinks
Cuisine: American
- 1 cup pure cane sugar
- 6 cups water
- 5 large basil leaves
- 20 lemons juiced
- In a saucepan, over low-medium heat, dissolve the sugar in 2 cups of water and whisk well. Let cool.
- Juice your lemons. It is a good idea to strain your lemon juice for pulp and seeds.
- Wash your basil leaves and chop into pieces. Let your basil leaves sit in your lemon juice, refrigerated for a few hours.
- Once chilled, you can strain your juice to get the basil leaves out, or leave them in if you rather.
- In your container, pour the sugar water and lemon juice together, along with the remaining 4 cups of water and a lot of ice.
- The ice will slowly melt, adding to dilute the lemonade. Feel free to add more water or sugar depending on if you like your lemonade tart or sugary.
- Enjoy your lemonade with a hint of basil!
