Blueberry Basil Limeade

Product

This riff on a classic Moscow Mule hits all the right notes with zingy ginger and fresh lime, but without the alcohol. It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

6
3⁄4 cup Natural Grocers® Brand Bulk Organic Coconut Sugar
5 cups water, divided
6 large sprigs organic basil, plus leaves for garnish
1 cup organic lime juice
1 cup Natural Grocers Brand Organic Frozen Blueberries
  Optional: lime-flavored sparkling water

1. Heat the coconut sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, add 6 sprigs of basil, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain into a pitcher, discarding the basil leaves. Stir in the lime juice and the remaining water; chill for 1 hour.

2. Add the frozen blueberries to the pitcher. Pour into ice-filled glasses, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve. Try a bubbly version by filling the glasses only halfway with the limeade and topping off with sparkling water.
