I discovered lemon basil.


Actually you didn't, some Botanist did.

I was wondering if this type basil could be
used in making beverages such as basil lemonade.
Any suggestions?


You can add some leaves to lemonade made from lemons, more as agarnish
(it'll be difficult squeezing juice from basil). However you can use
the plant to make lemon basil tea. And you can use lemon basil for
cooking and in salads the same as standard basil.
