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.

Asking for seconds
I asked my grown daughter to make this while I finished the rest of supper. The most trouble she had was picking the basil. She poured small glasses and I didn't realize there was more until she reached for seconds and then all glasses came forth.

Unexpectedly delicious
This was great and will now be a staple. I had a bunch of extra basil that I wanted to use and decided to try this. I'm glad I did, so yummy! I've already sent this link to multiple friends ro try the recipe. Perfect for when you have unexpected guests and need to make some quick drinks. Also a great base ro add alcohol to, if you choose
