I found this recipe for Basil Lemonade on epicurious. It reminds me of the time my stepfather surprised my mother and me by ordering the basil gelato and olive oil cake at the floataway cafe in Atlanta.
I love the idea of using basil in desserts so I did an advanced search in epicurious.com and found the following recipes:
Basil Ice-Cream (Another good reason to invest in a good ice-cream making machine someday.)
Basil Lime Syrup (I could adapt this and make Basil Limeade.)
Lemon Cakes with Basil Lemon Syrup (One of these days I am going to have a whole post dedicated to lemon cake. It was our wedding cake and I believe it will be the first thing I make with my Kitchen Aid mixer.)
Food Network has several, these look to be the most enticing:
Frozen Strawberry Lemon-Basil Mousse
Basil and Lime Sorbet
I am a little disappointed at the lack of basil-centered desserts on both Food and Wine and Martha Stewart.
