Ingredients
1/2 cup lemon basil leaves
¼ cup organic cane sugar
Grated zest of 3 or 4 lemons
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cups water or sparkling water (see note)
Instructions
Put the lemon basil, sugar and zest in a bowl. Crush and “muddle” this mixture, until the basil is well bruised and the sugar has mixed in.
Transfer to a pitcher, add the lemon juice and water and stir. Refrigerate, allowing the basil and zest to infuse more flavor, at least an hour. Strain and pour the lemonade over ice.
