Strawberry, Lemon and Basil Water

Strawberry, Lemon and Basil Water 

Welcome to my first theme week, where I’ll be posting a video every day from Monday to Friday! This week it’s all about fruit water! I was initially just going to make strawberry water, but thought that the lemon and basil would add a unique and slightly “foodie” touch! I was surprised by how well the basil paired with the strawberries, and it added a beautiful fragrance to it. Like all of the fruit waters this week, if you only want to make one serving, simply add a few slices of strawberries and lemon and a couple of basil leaves into a glass! This also steeps surprisingly quickly, so you don’t need to sit around for ages. But you’re also welcome to let this sit in the fridge for an hour before serving if you’d like a stronger flavour.
