Strawberry Basil Lemonade
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, destemmed and hulled
- 1 cup (8 ounces) fresh squeezed juice (I used 4 very large lemons)
- ½ cup simple syrup (see note below)
- 3 cups cold water
- 1 lemon, washed and sliced into ¼-inch slices
- 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves
Method
- Purée the strawberries with about ¼ cup of the lemon juice in a blender on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain the purée through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher.
- Add the rest of your lemon juice, the simple syrup, water, lemon slices and basil leaves. Stir to incorporate. Chill for at least one hour before serving.
