Presentation
For Fresh Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice, 4-5 cups of cold water and agave until desired sweetness is achieved. Chop 2-3 springs of basil or mash up the leaves. The goal is to get the oils out of the leaves. You may drop the chopped pieces in the lemonade. You may want to fish out the basil before serving, although I leave mine in the lemonade. Chill in the refrigerator for one hour. Serve with blueberry ice cubes, fresh lemon slices, and basil springs.
