Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

10 fresh basil leaves

2 lemons, juiced

4 cups cold water

3 tablespoons honey or to taste (adjust based on sweetness of strawberries)

50 mg THC Powder or THC tincture

Ice cubes

Additional strawberry slices and basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

First, In a blender, combine the strawberries, basil leaves, and lemon juice and blend until smooth. Next strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the pulp and excess leaves, pressing with a spoon to extract all the juice.

Now you can add the honey to the strawberry basil mixture while it's still in the pitcher make sure to stir until the honey is fully dissolved. If the honey is too thick, gently heat it before adding to the mix. Pour the cold water into the pitcher with the strawberry basil mixture, add your THC powder or THC tincture to the mix, and make sure to stir well to combine all ingredients.

Just chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least an hour to blend the flavors and serve over ice cubes, garnished with additional strawberry slices and a few basil leaves.

Before adding the cannabis tincture, you can customize the potency per glass to cater to different preferences, adding it directly to each glass instead of the whole pitcher.

This drink pairs beautifully with light spring meals, especially salads and grilled vegetables.
