Instructions

1

Prep the Strawberries and Basil

Hull and slice the fresh strawberries into halves or thirds to maximize surface area for infusion. Tear or lightly bruise the basil leaves to help release their aromatic oils.

2

Build the Pitcher

Layer the sliced strawberries and torn basil leaves into a large pitcher. Add the fresh lemon juice to brighten the overall flavor profile.

3

Add Water and Infuse

Pour the cold filtered water over the fruit and herbs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight, then stir before serving over ice.

Substitutions

Common mistakes

Leaving the infused water in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours which causes the strawberries to become mushy and impart an off flavor
Not slicing the strawberries which greatly slows the infusion and results in bland water
