Chef's tip
Use the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter.
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
8 large 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.
⅛ tsp fine salt

For serving

ice, for serving
lime slices, for serving (optional)
fresh basil sprigs, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the strawberries, water, maple syrup, lime juice, basil leaves, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45 seconds.
2
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the solids.
