Ingredients:1 can frozen lemonade
1 generous handful of fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup boiling water for steeping basil leaves
sparkling water
borage flowers (optional)
Here's how:In a pitcher, mix the lemonade according to the directions on the can.
Substitute some of the tap water for the 1/2 cup of "basil tea", discarding leaves.
Stir, then top off the pitcher with some sparkling water
(I use about a cup of lemon flavored mineral water)
Garnish with borage flowers
Yummy and thirst-quenching...try some!

Oh how ironic- we must both of us have lemons on the brain. I just posted a lemonade recipe myself. Kindred spirits. :)
Looks lovely.
what a co-winky-dink! ;)
I've never thought of putting basil and lemon together. I have a greenhouse bulging with basil, so I must give this a go. Didn't know you could buy frozen lemonade. Not sure where I'd get it, so I'm going to have to make it from scratch. It looks yummy.
I've not heard of basil in lemonaid! For the first time, I have grown lemon basil this year, so now I can not wait to try your recipe...looks yummy.
Thanks!
