Best lemonade ever!!!
Many years ago I had a fresh made lemonade at a carnival and ever since then was never able to come close, until now! The addition of the basil is amazing and it's so fresh and delicious! I use the amount of sugar it asks for but I do add some stevia as well to make it a little sweeter. Best tasting lemonade!! Love it!!

Wonderfully Tasty, Frosty Treat!
My family loves when I make this recipe, it's sweet, tart and nice and frosty/frothy. Perfect for hot summer afternoons when your basil plant is growing like crazy!

Really Good!
Gave it a bit extra lemon and was still nice. Not too tart and not too sweet. Basil is a nice addition. Easy to make. Definitely will be making again.
