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.
Ingredients
- 12 cups cold water
- 1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ½ cup firmly packed torn basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Stir water, lemonade, sugar, and lime juice together in a pitcher. Add 1/2 cup basil leaves, stir to combine, cover the pitcher, and refrigerate until flavors combine, 8 hours to overnight. Remove basil leaves and discard.
Cook’s Note:
Add or subtract the preferred amount of lemonade concentrate for stronger or weaker lemonade flavor. Substitute bottled lime juice for fresh lime juice.
