Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 8 –10 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tbsp honey or simple syrup optional
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cups sparkling water
  • Ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Add sliced strawberries to a pitcher or large glasses and lightly mash to release juices.
  2. Add basil leaves and gently press them to release flavor without shredding.
  3. Stir in honey or simple syrup if using.
  4. Add fresh lemon juice and ice cubes.
  5. Pour sparkling water over the mixture and stir gently.
  6. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. Avoid over-crushing basil or it can taste bitter. This drink is best served immediately after adding sparkling water to keep the carbonation fresh.
