Organic Honey Basil Lemonade

As temperatures start to rise this summer, keep cool with this basil infused variation of lemonade.

Ingredients

• 1 cup organic lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 10 to 12 lemons)
• 1/2 cup organic local honey
• 2 cups loosely packed basil leaves
• Pinch Himalayan salt
• 3 cups cold purified water
• 1 quart ice
• Basil leaves for garnish

Directions

In a blender combine lemon juice, honey and basil leaves. On high speed, blend until honey has dissolved and basil is in very fine pieces. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher. Discard solids. Add cold water and whisk to combine. Add ice. Add more honey or lemon juice if desired. Serve in ice-filled glasses garnished with basil leaves.
