basil lemon mojito recipe with step by step photos – refreshing summer mocktail beverage with fresh basil and lemon.

usually mojito is made with mint leaves. however, this drink with basil and lemon was so good, that we were amazed by the flavors. refreshing indeed in the summers. the peppery pungent taste of the basil complemented the tangy citrus taste of the lemons very well.

instead of fresh basil, you can also use mint leaves or holy basil (tulsi leaves). mojito can be made in many batches and makes a good party drink.

1. in a mortar-pestle or in a pitcher/cocktail shaker take ⅛ cup basil leaves (about 18 to 20 small basil leaves), 2 slices of lemon, 1 to 2 tbsp sugar, a pinch of salt. 2 tbsp sugar makes the drink sweet. if you want more predominant tangy taste, then add 1 tbsp sugar. to make the drink diabetic friendly, add a sugar substitute like stevia. you can also use honey instead of sugar.
