Aromatic refreshment

Thanks to basil, this lemonade is particularly aromatic. Already during the preparation an irresistible scent spreads in the kitchen.

Use fresh basil for the recipe. You can plant it yourself beforehand.

On hot summer days, the basil lemonade, just like the lemon iced tea, provides a real refreshment. Who can resist the cool, aromatic, colorful drink?!

By the way, also try my cucumber lemonade with basil. And if you want it to be creamy, prepare the Soviet milkshake.

Sugar free basil lemonade

My basil lemonade comes without sugar. I sweetened it with agave syrup. Alternatively, you can use maple syrup.

Of course, you can make the basil soda with regular sugar or ready-made sugar syrup**. Brown sugar is also suitable.

Determine the amount of sweetener according to your taste.

Lime juice instead of lemon juice

Instead of lemon juice, you can use lime juice in the recipe. You can also make a delicious basil soda with a mixture of lemon and lime juice.

Depending on how tart you like your drink, you can adjust the amount of lemon juice in the recipe.

Alcoholic drink with basil syrup

You can dilute the basil syrup with more than just water. Pour half of it with sparkling wine or prosecco. This way you get an ideal alcoholic drink for a summer party. You can also make the Gin Basil Smash with the basil syrup.
