Strawberry & Basil Infused Water
A few weeks ago, we asked Pascal Guarrigues from Monte-Carlo Beach to provide a few tips for creating a vegetable garden. If you happen to have a few herbs sprinkled around your own garden, then we’ve got a unique way for you to use them thanks to our infused water recipes. The young will appreciate them as a healthy, creative and inexpensive alternative, while the old will love them for their delightful flavours and hydrating, detoxifying properties.
We’ve specially selected a strawberry & basil water recipe that is sure to delight young and old alike.
Basil is a very common herb in southern Europe and can be found in multiple culinary preparations, but did you know that it’s packed with antioxidants, vitamin K and antibacterial properties?
Combined with strawberries, this seasonal mixture makes for a healthful, mouth-watering drink.
Ingredients:
- A few fresh basil leaves
- A few strawberries
- Water (preferably purified or non-carbonated mineral water)
The drink is easy to make: simply let the basil and strawberries infuse in the water for at least an hour before tasting...Now enjoy!
