Ingredients

• Lemons - 3 pieces
• Water - 1 liter
• Sugar - 150 gr
• Basil - 1 bunch
• Water - 150 ml
• Sugar - 125 gr

Directions

1. First you need to prepare the basil syrup. To do this, wash the basil and place it in a saucepan with water and sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Turn off the heat and let the basil sit for another 30-40 minutes.
3. Remove the leaves and discard them.
4. Now let's get down to lemonade. Wash and cut the lemons into slices to remove all seeds, otherwise the lemonade will turn bitter. Combine lemons, sugar, and a cup of water in a bowl.
5. Transfer everything to a food processor and beat until smooth.
6. Strain the mixture through a sieve, then squeeze out as much juice with cheesecloth.
7. Add whichever basil syrup you want to make the lemonade more herbal and interesting.
8. To make this lemonade special, you can freeze several edible flowers in ice cubes.
