Looking for a refreshing, healthy alternative to plain water?
I have Basil started for my garden….and strawberry plants that look very promising for the summer. So….I am already dreaming about what all I can do with these 2 healthy ingredients. This will definitely be on the menu at my house during strawberry season!
Strawberry-Basil Water
Ingredients
· 1 pint strawberries, sliced
· 10 fresh basil leaves, torn
· 1 lemon, sliced
· 2 quarts water
Directions
Combine strawberries, basil and lemon in a large pitcher. Add 2 quarts water. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 2 days.
Infused waters are an easy way to add flavor and interest without a lot of extra calories. Try different fruit and herb combinations, like cucumber-mint or lemon-lime.
