  • 4 oz lemon sliced

  • 8 basil leaves
  • 3 cups water

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Add 2 cup ice to a pitcher/serving glasses. If you plan to make a large batch to refrigerate, skip the ice.

2

Add 8 basil leaves. You can use a muddler to crush it slightly to release more fragrance.

3

Add 4 oz lemon slices. Don’t crush them as this can make your drink too sour.

4

Add 3 cup water and serve. The longer this water sits, the better it will taste.
