ITALIAN BASIL LEMONADE ♥ image

Categories     Fruit     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (i used 7 lemons, but they were all pretty juicy. 8-10 is probably a safe average bet)
basil simple syrup, cooled (recipe below)
3 cups of cold or sparkling water
lots of ice (i froze mine with basil leaves and lemon zest inside)
fresh basil leaves and lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • mix lemon juice, simple syrup, and water in a pitcher and serve in glasses filled with ice. basil simple syrup: 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup water 2 cups lightly packed basil 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional) combine the water, sugar, and basil in a small saucepan and heat at medium-high until the liquid is clear and sugar granules are no longer visible, about 7 minutes. if using lemon zest, add to the syrup once it's off the heat. allow to cool, then strain out the zest and basil leaves. note: this is a tart lemonade, if you prefer a sweeter lemonade, i would increase the sugar in the simple syrup. the recipe also produces a strong lemonade, which is why it is served in glasses with lots of ice. enjoy! ♥

I made this lemonade with sparkling water instead of still water. It was really refreshing and bubbly.

This lemonade is a great way to use up extra basil. I have a basil plant in my garden and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I'm not a fan of basil, but I still enjoyed this lemonade. The lemon flavor is strong enough to balance out the basil.

I wasn't sure how the basil would taste in lemonade, but I was pleasantly surprised. It adds a really nice depth of flavor.

The lemonade is a bit tart, but I like that. It's a nice change from the overly sweet lemonades that you usually find.

This Italian basil lemonade is the perfect summer drink! It's refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. I love that it uses fresh basil and lemon, which gives it a wonderfully bright and citrusy flavor.
