How to Make Nectarine Basil Lemonade
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 1 medium nectarine (roughly chopped), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups cold water, 1 thinly sliced medium nectarine, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.
- Divide the lemonade among tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a few fresh basil leaves and a nectarine slice (optional).
