How to Make Ww Basil Lemonade

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and ½ cup of granulated sugar (or your preferred no-calorie sweetener).
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of fresh basil leaves.
Let the mixture steep for 30 minutes to allow the basil to infuse.
Fill a large pitcher with ice.
Strain the basil-infused syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into the ice-filled pitcher, discarding the basil leaves.
Stir in 4 cups of cold water and 1 cup of frozen lemon juice concentrate.
Stir well to combine and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and lemon slices (optional).
