BASIL LEMONADE

Basil Lemonade image

I tweaked this recipe it to make a refreshing drink. I love basil and this recipe has a wonderful basil-infused flavor. Delicious on a warm day or with grilled chicken. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh basil and lemon slices.

Categories Fruit Quick & Easy Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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! ♥

BASIL LEMONADE

Basil Lemonade image

In my quest to find recipes to take advantage of the bumper crop of basil I have right now, I came across this one found in the May 2003 issue of Sunset magazine. This is very refreshing! It's especially fun if you have lots of different varieties of basil available to you.

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup rinsed lightly packed fresh basil leaf
3 tablespoons sugar
4 cups water
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 sprig fresh basil

Steps:

In a 1 1/2 to 2 Qt glass bowl, combine basil leaves and sugar.
With a wooden spoon, crush leaves with sugar until thoroughly bruised;
add water and lemon juice,
Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes;
Taste and add more sugar if desired.
Pour through a strainer into ice-filled glasses.
Garnish with sprigs of fresh basil.
*Note:The type of basil you use will contribute to the'personality' of this drink.
Dark purple basil tints the lemonade pink and has a milder flavor than green varieties.
Lemon basil adds a lemon-drop essence.
Cinnamon and Thai basils make this more spicy.
