it doesn't quite have the same ring as "like peanut butter and jelly"... YET! But wait till you try this super delish combination you'll be like why don't I put thai basil in EVERYTHING?! Especially when you add gin or vodka to it like I did.

there's nothing simpler than making lemonade when you cheat a bit- semi-home-made. 

Don't sue me Sandra Lee. 

1 gallon of Publix Fresh Lemonade (as in the Publix brand fresh lemonade, it's sometimes by the deli... not sure why)

1 bunch of thai basil (this plant came from Home Depot and was growing like weeds) tied together or just shoved into a pitcher. 

3 lemons thinly sliced. 

leave it all in a pitcher and let it sit for as long as you can hold out, the next day is even better. 

add gin, vodka or tequila and you're all set.
