BASIL LEMONADE
In my quest to find recipes to take advantage of the bumper crop of basil I have right now, I came across this one found in the May 2003 issue of Sunset magazine. This is very refreshing! It's especially fun if you have lots of different varieties of basil available to you.

WW BASIL LEMONADE
This is an alternative to diet sodas and iced tea and is easy to make - the basil does have a 30 minute sitting time though and it's better if it's made early in the day so the lemonade is very cold. If following the WW flex plan this is only 2 points/cup, but I imagine this would also work with no cal sweeteners which will then will 0 points. Recipe source: WWM (July 2007)

BASIL LEMONADE
I tweaked this recipe it to make a refreshing drink. I love basil and this recipe has a wonderful basil-infused flavor. Delicious on a warm day or with grilled chicken. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh basil and lemon slices.
