Preparation Steps
1
Wash the strawberries and basil leaves. Chop the strawberries into smaller pieces to help them release their flavor.
2
In a large pitcher, combine the non-alcoholic apple cider and lemon juice. Add the chopped strawberries and gently muddle them with a spoon to release their juices.
3
Add the honey and stir until completely dissolved. Tip: Use room temperature honey for easier dissolving.
4
Place the basil leaves into the pitcher. Gently stir to infuse the flavor without bruising or tearing the leaves.
5
Pour in the sparkling mineral water and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to lose the carbonation.
6
When serving, add ice cubes to each glass and pour in the prepared cider. Garnish the glasses with fresh strawberries and basil leaves.
