Description
This was born of a need to use up the ageing strawberries in the fridge, plus whatever was growing in the garden. Found a recipe at https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/strawberry-basil-mocktail/ and adapted it in the laziest possible manner.
Delightfully refreshing, the lemon, sugar, strawberry and basil all work together well, especially when well-chilled after shaking.
