Capsaicin Free Strawberry Basil Lemonade

Bright, floral, and deeply refreshing, this strawberry basil lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel like a special occasion. Fresh strawberries and fragrant basil get blended together with a honey simple syrup, then strained into a pitcher with real lemon juice for a sip that's fruity, herby, and perfectly tart. Because every single ingredient here is naturally free of capsaicin and hot pepper derivatives, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about sneaky spice additions the way you might with store-bought flavored drinks or cocktail mixers. The honey syrup comes together in just a couple of minutes on the stovetop, and the whole thing is blendable and strainable without any complicated technique. Served over ice with a sprig of basil and a lemon slice, it looks stunning on a table and tastes even better than it looks. It's the kind of homemade lemonade that disappears fast, so you may want to double the batch.
