Strawberry Basil Lemonade
Doesn’t that title just sound refreshing?! Fresh basil is my jam in the summer! And I can’t get enough of juicy red strawberries! The two together in lemonade is SO GOOD!
I have two versions for you, a concentrate version that’s easy peasy and a homemade version for those that have an abundance of fresh lemons!
Let’s just get to it!
