Ingredients

4 servings

8 medium strawberries, hulled and sliced
8 fresh basil leaves
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of basil used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid basil, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
8 cups cold filtered water

For serving

1 cup ice cubes, for serving

Instructions

1
Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or thirds. Gently press each basil leaf between your palms once to bruise it slightly and release its aroma.
2
Add the strawberries and basil to a large 2-quart pitcher. Pour the cold water over the fruit and herbs.
