Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sugar
1 bunch fresh basil, leaves and stems
2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice (from about 11 lemons)
1 bag frozen raspberries
Vodka, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Boil the sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add the basil to the syrup and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Strain the basil syrup into a small pitcher and discard the basil. Whisk the lemon juice into basil syrup. Pour the mixture into 3 ice cube trays and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.
  • Pop the lemonade ice cubes into a large re-sealable plastic bag (freeze for up to 1 week).
  • When ready to serve, add the lemonade ice cubes, frozen raspberries and water to a tall pitcher. Stir until evenly mixed. Top with vodka, if using.
  • For camping: Pack the lemonade ice cubes and frozen raspberries in a cooler. Be sure to pack the remaining ingredients and a tall pitcher.
