Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 lbs strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 cup basil leaves , tightly packed
6 cups water, cold
3 cups lemon juice, chilled
ice
1/2 lb strawberry, washed, hulled, and sliced 1/2-inch thick, for garnish
1/4 cup basil leaves , tightly packed, blemish-free, for garnish

Directions:

For the strawberry-basil syrup:.
Place sugar and water in a medium saucepan over high heat and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Add strawberries, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until strawberries have softened, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, add basil leaves, and stir to incorporate. Cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl; discard solids. Cover syrup and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the lemonade:.
Pour water, lemon juice, and reserved strawberry-basil syrup into a 3-quart pitcher or punch bowl and stir to combine. Add ice and garnish with sliced strawberries and basil leaves. Taste, and adjust water/ice if too strong or sweet for you.
