Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Use a variety of basil leaves for a more complex flavor. Some good options include sweet basil, purple basil, and lemon basil.
- 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.
