Thai Lemonade

 
Can you believe it? I am actually featuring a drink recipe? The last two being Orange Sangria an Mango Mocktail and? What shall I say? My mint leaves were ready for plucking and I had the rest of the ingredients as well, including a packet of basil seeds. Basil seeds? I think they are a favourite for Thais ((Thai Crispy Fish, Tom Yum GoongTom Kha Gai & Thai Vegetable Curry) and their drinks? Are we right or we are doing the guessing game? I think we are right because my trip to Bangkok did expose me to basil seeds as well as basil leaves for Thai savory (Shrimp Pad Thai, Thai Carrot Soup & Spicy Thai Noodles) and sweet dishes. So, what else should I say? Thai Lemonade was the outcome and for keeping it sort of healthy, I decided that honey will be a better option compared to sugar and the rest of the ingredients, as you wish as per your taste measurement. Lemon (Baked Lemon Chicken), basil seeds, mint leaves, honey, mineral water and ice for Thai Lemonade.
