This refreshing juice blends sweet strawberries, bright citrus, and the soft herbal note of basil into a beautifully blush-pink drink. It’s light, fragrant, and perfect for warm days when you want something fresh but not heavy.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled

• Juice of 1 orange

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 4 fresh basil leaves

• ½ cup water

Instructions

1. Prepare the fruit
   Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems.

2. Blend
   Add strawberries, orange juice, lemon juice, basil leaves, and water to a blender.

3. Blend until smooth
   Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is fully smooth and fragrant.

4. Strain (optional)
   For a lighter, smoother juice, strain through a fine mesh sieve. Skip this step if you prefer a more pulpy texture.

5. Serve
   Pour into a chilled glass. Add ice if desired.

Tips

• For extra sweetness, add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup.

• Lightly clap the basil leaves before blending to release more aroma.

• For a sparkling version, replace the water with chilled sparkling water after blending.
