I'm not a fan of mint or basil, so I omitted them from the recipe. The lemonade was still very good!

The lemonade was a bit bland. I think it would have been better with some additional flavoring, such as ginger or berries.

I found that the lemonade was a bit too tart. I would recommend adding a bit more sugar to taste.

This lemonade is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I wasn't sure about the combination of mint and basil at first, but it actually worked really well. The flavors complemented each other nicely.
