1/3 cup sugar (if you tend to have a sweet tooth, make it a scant 1/2 cup instead)
8-12 large basil leaves coarsely chopped, for garnish
4 strawberries, slit down the middle, for garnish
Instructions
1. Juice the lemons into a pitcher. If juicing by hand, roll each lemon between your palm and a hard surface before you cut and squeeze it. Using a slotted spoon remove any seeds from the pitcher.
2. Add the water and strawberry sauce. Whisk together
3. Add the sugar. Adjust to taste, as noted above.
4. Add ice to four glasses. Pour the lemonade over the ice and add chopped basil and a strawberry for garnish.
Cheers!
P.S. - I bet adding vodka or citrus vodka would turn this in to a very delicious cocktail.

This looks delicious. I am posting a blackberry jam infused with cinnamon basil today. Hope you check it out.
