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.

- *Note:The type of basil you use will contribute to the'personality' of this drink.
