Ingredients

10-12 Lemons freshly squeezed - this is approximately 2 cups of lemon juice
⅓ Cup Fresh Ginger peeled and chopped roughly
¾ Cup Honey
2 ½ Cups Water
Basil for garnishing

Instructions

To make this lemonade, start by adding the lemon juice, ginger, and honey to a blender.
Blend the ingredients, on high, until they're smooth and frothy. This should take approximately 1 minute.
Once the ingredients are blended, taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness as needed. You may want to add more honey, if you like the lemonade extra sweet! Be sure to re-blend as needed, so that the honey is fully incorporated into the lemonade.
Then, pour the water and ice into a large pitcher, followed by the lemon mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir to combine.
Once it's done, garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Then, serve and enjoy!
