Basil Lemon Mojito Recipe - Summer Foods

Basil Lemon Mojito Recipe – refreshing summer mocktail beverage with fresh basil and lemon.


Usually mojito is made with mint leaves. However, this drink with basil and lemon is so good, that I am amazed by the flavors. Refreshing indeed in the summers. The peppery pungent taste of the basil complemented the tangy citrus taste of the lemons very well.

Instead of fresh basil, you can also use mint leaves or holy basil (Tulsi leaves). Mojito can be made in many batches and makes a good party drink.

Ingredients for 2 glasses: 
  • 18 to 20 small basil leaves
  • 2 slices of lemon
  • 1 - 2 tablespoon sugar ( or a diabetic substitute)
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Ice cubes/Crushed Ice
  • Chilled WAter/Soda/Sparkling Water

Recipe:
1. In a mortar-pestle or in a pitcher/cocktail shaker take ⅛ cup basil leaves (about 18 to 20 small basil leaves), 2 slices of lemon, 1 to 2 tbsp sugar, a pinch of salt. 2 tbsp sugar makes the drink sweet. If you want more predominant tangy taste, then add 1 tbsp sugar. To make the drink diabetic friendly, add a sugar substitute like stevia. You can also use honey instead of sugar.
2. Muddle (lightly mash or crush) all the ingredients with a pestle or muddler. Do remove the lemon seeds if any.
3. Spoon the muddled ingredients in two glasses with all the juices and extract left on the mortar.
4. In each glass, add 1 tbsp lemon juice.
5. Add some crushed ice or ice cubes.
6. Pour soda or sparkling water or chilled water. You can also add half-half of soda and chilled water. Stir very well with a stirrer or spoon.
7. Serve Basil Lemon Mojito immediately.

You will completely refreshed and this is the best summer drink for parties, easy to make anytime and in any quantity. Enjoy your summer.

Relationships - Complex and yet simple

We are social animals, which means we like to associate with people. From the birth till our death we are influenced by and, most of the times unintentionally, influence others. This contact between 2 people, however brief it may be, where they acknowledge the existence of each other creates a relationship between them. The moment you are born you have your first relationship, with your mother, considered to be the most sacred of all relationships in one's lifetime. You are dependent on her for your survival while she is bound to you by the love of offspring. With this you start to grow up gradually and create many more relationships with other people around you. We can categorize all the relationships formed during one's lifetime into 4:   Family Relationships Friendships Romantic Relationships, and Acquaintanceships   Each relationship has its own dynamic however what all of them have in common is a need of interaction between 2 people. To carry any ...
