I don’t know…I made this and there was something just really weird about it (I went back through recipe as well and I did everything right). It’s too limey…reminded me and all who tried it of kitchen cleaner.
Reduce basil and switch it out for the honey when heating the water. In my opinion, straight honey limeade is better anyway. Let me know if you want the recipe.
I make dozens of gallons of lemonade and limeade each summer so i decided to give this a try. I’ve tried this with a few variants and here is what I’ve found.
Fresh basil gives it that cleaner-esque taste, while using less basil and heating it (basil tea, if you will) gives it a decent herbal hint, albeit with an aroma of bad absinthe. Best method found is switching the basil out for the honey in the boiling water; only use a few leaves. Omit the cucumber.
Pro tips for sweetening lemon and limeade:
Boiling water with sugar serves two purposes – it dissolves the sugar quickly and turns it into invert sugar (fructose and glucose). This “smooths out” the sweetness and arguably allows one to use less sugar. Honey, on the other hand, is better used without heating, which would destroy some of its desirable benefits/properties.
