Basil Lemonade

• 4 to 5 Lemons
• 500 ml Carbonated water
• 1 good amount Ice cubes
• 4 to 5 stalks Basil (with stems)
• 100 ml White sugar
• 100 ml Water

1. Thoroughly rinse the basil, then cut the stalk in half lengthways.
2. Combine the sugar, water, and basil in a small saucepan and heat on medium.
3. When the sugar dissolves and the water starts to boil, remove from the heat, and let sit for about 3 minutes.
4. Strain in a colander, then chill in the refrigerator.
5. (You should have 150 ml of syrup.)
6. Squeeze the lemons, and remove the seeds.
7. It's actually quite tasty if a little of the pulp gets into the juice.
8. Put the ice in a pitcher, slowly pour in the lemon juice, basil syrup, and carbonated water and stir.
9. Pour into individual cups.
