Ingredients:

• 1 cup
• 10 leaves
• 1/4 cup
• 2 tbsp
• 3 cups
• as needed

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• saucepan
• strainer
• pitcher

To start, in a saucepan, combine the water and honey over medium heat, stirring until the honey is completely dissolved. Add in the freshly chopped pineapple and basil leaves, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Once the pineapple and basil are nicely infused, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove any pulp.

Next, add in the lemon juice and stir well to combine. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least an hour to chill. Serve the zesty pineapple basil lemonade over ice cubes and garnish with a fresh basil leaf for an extra touch of herbaceous aroma. Enjoy this unique and refreshing beverage!

The approximate total weight of the zesty pineapple basil lemonade is 1200 grams. This recipe makes about 4 servings, with each serving weighing approximately 300 grams. Each serving is estimated to have around 120 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra kick of freshness, you can muddle a few basil leaves at the bottom of each glass before pouring in the lemonade. This will release even more of the herb’s aromatic oils and enhance the overall flavor of the beverage.

I hope you give this zesty pineapple basil lemonade a try and enjoy it as much as I do! Feel free to experiment with different herbs or citrus fruits to create your own unique twist on this classic lemonade recipe. Cheers to homemade beverages that bring joy to your taste buds!
