Basil lemonade (+ video)

Ingredients

Green basil (lemon) 1 bundle
Lemon 2 pcs.
Mint and Melissa (mix) 1 bundle
Sugar 6 tbsp. l.
Water 1 l.

Cooking method

  • This lemonade exceeded all my expectations! I, of course, expected it to be delicious, but not so much)) As for me, it's better than mojito))
  • So let's get started!
  • Rinse basil, mint and lemon balm with running water and cut off all the leaves (we don't need twigs). If you have only mint, or only lemon balm, then this is not critical! Even just one basil will turn out delicious!
  • The leaves need to be turned into gruel using a blender or simply cut into small pieces with a knife and sent to a container with water (already boiled, since we will not cook lemonade). Squeeze juice from two lemons there and let it brew for a couple of hours. Over time, filter the lemonade through a fine strainer or cheesecloth and add 6 tablespoons of sugar. Sugar can be less, we do everything to taste.
  • And now the drink is ready! Cool or add ice. Such a healthy homemade lemonade will easily relieve thirst in the summer heat and replace the usual unhealthy carbonated drinks!
  • All the best!
  • And here is my video recipe for making this lemonade:

Yeah, that's just why we close our eyes to the fact that there should be a ready-made dish at this place

But it is desirable of course to fix

We, having our own greens, enjoy such lemonades every summer! I plant at least 6 varieties of basil for food and drinks! It's really delicious!
Just wonderful!

It's great when everyone grows in their own garden! I also tried for the first time this year to grow basil, but I failed. One frail bush grew. Why, I did not understand ...

Good day and I beg your pardon! We will not close our eyes, I will take a photo when I cook next time. I just broke my camera when I was shooting this recipe, I managed to take a picture only at the beginning. The photo on the phone leaves much to be desired
Lack of photos will not contradict the forum rules?
