Strawberry and basil cooler

Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 4 oz Strawberries; 1 Lime; ¼ oz Granulated erythritol; Fresh basil, a small bunch; Sparkling water, about 1 cup; Ice, a handful

The basil is bruised into the strawberries rather than steeped in hot water, which takes it somewhere greener and stops the whole thing tasting like squash.

Method

6 steps · 10 minutes

Hull the strawberries and crush them with the erythritol using the back of a spoon. Do not blend them — blended, it turns to foam.
Tear the basil rather than chopping it. A knife bruises the leaf against the board and blackens the cut edges.
Press the basil into the strawberries with the spoon a few times, then leave it five minutes to work.
Add the lime juice, and strain it if you want it clear or leave it as it is if you do not.
Over ice, topped with the sparkling water poured down the side of the glass so it keeps its bubbles.
A whole leaf on top does more for it than a stirrer does.
