Heavenly aromatic, refreshing and delicious is the basil soda. It contains no sugar and is a perfect drink for the summer. With this recipe you can make basil lemonade yourself. It's pretty easy and quick.
Put basil leaves, lemon juice and agave syrup in a blender and puree finely.
Pour the basil mixture, through a sieve if necessary, into a water carafe.
Pour the basil syrup with sparkling water.
Serve the basil lemonade with fresh basil leaves, lemon slices and ice cubes.
Notes
Non-carbonated mineral water and tap water are also suitable for diluting the basil syrup. I make the lemonade with sparkling water that comes fresh from my sparkling water maker**.
You can adjust the amount of agave syrup to taste. Instead, you can use maple syrup, brown sugar, or ready-made sugar syrup**, among other things.
Lime juice can be used instead of lemon juice. Take the amount of juice to taste.
