Paleo Strawberry Basil Agua Fresca

This refreshing blended drink is everything you want on a warm day — bright, fruity, and just herby enough to feel a little fancy. Fresh strawberries and basil are blended together with cold water, lime juice, and a touch of maple syrup, then strained into a pitcher for a silky-smooth result. The combination of sweet berry, citrus tang, and fragrant basil is genuinely stunning, and it comes together with almost no effort at all. Maple syrup steps in as the natural sweetener here, keeping things completely grain-free and refined sugar-free without sacrificing any of the flavor. Store-bought flavored drinks and juices are often loaded with cane sugar, natural flavors, or other additives that can be hard to vet — making a batch at home means you know exactly what's in your glass. Serve it over ice with a few lime slices and a sprig of basil for a presentation that looks far more impressive than the work involved. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you may want to double the batch.
