Comment préparer Purple Basil Lemonade

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice.
In a mortar and pestle (or a food processor with 1/4 cup water), combine 1/2 cup packed fresh purple basil leaves and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Pound or process until a fragrant paste forms.
Add the basil-sugar paste to the water and lemon juice mixture.
Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, discarding the solids.
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (or prepare ahead of time!).
Fill four glasses with ice (about 1 cup of ice per glass).
Pour approximately 1 cup of chilled lemonade into each glass.
Garnish each serving with a fresh purple basil sprig.
