Bold Basil Lemonade

So, in my quest to use basil creatively, I decided to branch out into beverages. This lemonade has the lovely basil flavor and its uniqueness makes it well worth making.

Boil 4 cups of water with 2 cups fresh basil leaves. Seal into glass mason jar and let infuse for an hour or more.

In a glass, combine to taste:

fresh lemon juice
strained basil water infusion
agave nectar

Enjoy over ice. Also delicious as a cocktail with vodka or rum.
