Electric Lemonade

I was never a big fan of lemonade, until I tried this one. It has a perfect balance of sour and sweet, and basil adds just a bit of refreshing flavor. Turmeric gives the lemonade a bright yellow color and powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Great for a hot summer day or in tropical climate.

Electric Lemonade [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Ingredients

• 6 cups filtered water
• 4 lemons, de-seeded and peel cut off (can include the white pith, which has vitamin C)
• coconut nectar, stevia to taste (start with around 1/4 cup of coconut nectar and some stevia, then adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• pinch of black pepper
• pinch of maca
• 1/2 cup basil leaves

Preparation

1. Prepare the ingredients.
2. Place all ingredients except basil in a blender and blend on high for 45 seconds. The mixture may foam and expand, so it's good to have a kitchen towel handy.
3. Strain mixture to remove any pulp.
4. Add to a BPA-free or glass container, stir in basil, and set in the fridge to chill.

Notes

Can be made up to 1 day ahead.
