Lemon Basil Refresher


Like tarty drinks?  This version of lemonade is quick to make and refreshing. It tastes a bit like a sinful margarita but without the calories!

*Note that this drink is tart and if you like a little more sweetness, add the extra tablespoon of honey.  You can also make this drink vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
