What are the nutritional values? Carbs, fibre, sugar in particular…Also what would the carb, fibre, and sugar content if you were to use monkfruit instead of sugar as simple syrup?

Anonymous: Yes, honey would work, mix it in a bit at a time until you reach the desired level of sweetness.

Could you substitute honey instead of simple syrup for this recipe?

Strawberry basil, what an awesome combo! It's not often you see basil with drinks, but it sounds so interesting, I think I might just have to try it. I tend to make a lot of lemonade, I think strawberry basil is next on the list : )

Basil Lemonade is wonderful. As is lavendar limeade.

I made a Basil Lemon Drop the other day and it was heaven.

Karen: Definitely fresh lemon juice and 1 cup should be about 4-6 lemons. Enjoy!

Rather than using lemon juice alone, I strongly suggest peeling as much zest as possible from the lemons before juicing them. Put the zest in cold water and slowly bring it to a boil. Strain out the zest and use the water to make the simple syrup.

This method gives a much fuller and interesting lemon flavor than does the juice by itself.
