Yield Makes about 6 cups, serving 4 to 6.

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 cups water
1 cup fresh basil leaves plus additional for garnish
2 nectarines
3/4 cup sugar, or to taste
1 cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan stir together 2 cups of the water, 1 cup of the basil, 1 of the nectarines, chopped course, and the sugar, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer it for 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool and strain it through a fine sieve set over a pitcher, pressing hard on the solids. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups water, the remaining nectarine, sliced thin, and the lemon juice. Divide the lemonade among tall glasses filled with ice cubes and garnish each drink with some of the additional basil.

This lemonade is delicious, but it's a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

This lemonade is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

I accidentally used too much basil and the lemonade was a bit too overpowering. Next time I'll be sure to measure the ingredients more carefully.

I substituted honey for the sugar and it turned out great! This lemonade is a healthier alternative to other sugary drinks.
