Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 2–3 tablespoons sweetener (such as honey, sugar, or agave syrup, adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- 10–12 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Blend the Strawberries: Place the fresh strawberries, lemon juice, and sweetener into a blender. Blend until smooth and well combined to create a vibrant strawberry-lemon base.
- Add Basil and Water: Pour the strawberry mixture into a pitcher. Tear the basil leaves slightly to release their aromas and stir them into the pitcher along with the cold water. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and serve chilled over ice for a perfectly refreshing drink.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference using honey, sugar, or any sweetener of choice.
- For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture to remove seeds before adding basil and water.
- Add ice cubes or sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
- Garnish with extra basil leaves or lemon slices for a decorative touch.
