  • If you don't have a juicer, you can mash the strawberries and basil leaves with a fork or muddler and then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to taste. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey or agave nectar.
  • If you're serving the lemonade immediately, add ice cubes to each glass. You can also chill the lemonade for a few hours or overnight before serving.
