One of the best things about summer is that you feel like surviving more on liquids and lighter diets unlike winter when eating piping hot food is on the top of your mind.
Hence, summer is one of my favourite seasons because it allows me to adhere to my diet plan and gives me less excuses to cheat the diet sheet, ha! Don’t you agree?
With an intention to make these hydrating accompaniments more nourishing, I am also on a spree for using basil as often as I can as basil is an antioxidant, provides anti-stress solution, also, it is anti inflammatory hence why not use it more, eh?
To begin with all my basil and cooler experiment, I started by preparing this easy Strawberry Basil Lemonade.
Lemonade is basically the western version of Nimbu Paani and Strawberry Basil Lemonade incorporates the tanginess of lemons with a dash of sweetness of fresh strawberries, fresh basil and heaps of crushed ice. You can make it into a Strawberry Basil Cocktail by adding a dash of white rum in it.
Served with heaps of ice, I love the way strawberries, lemon and basil come together to make a supremely refreshing drink that is ideal to be sipped any time throughout the summer!
I have used soda for making Strawberry Basil Lemonade but you may also use water if you want!. If you have the sugar syrup ready, you can sue that also instead of sugar.
You can a splash or vodka or white rum for an alcoholic treat.
