Frozen Cherry Basil Lemonade

I feel melty.  

Drink cold things. 

Listen to music with somber but oddly uplifting melody with mediocre lyrics.  

Ingredients:

10-15 cherries, pitted and halved

4-5 basil leaves + 2 for decoration

2 lemons juiced (limes would be nice too)

1/3 cup ice

3 tablespoons of simple syrup (add more if you like, I like my lemonade a bit tart)

1 cup cold water

1. muddle the cherries and basil

2. divide the cherry basil mixture into two cups and set aside

3. combine the lemon juice, ice, water, and simple syrup in a blender and blend until desired consistency is achieved

4. pour the frozen lemonade over the cherry basil mixture

5. decorate with a basil leaf
