  • Servings: 4
  • Skill Level: Easy
  • Ingredients:
  • 4 passionfruits, halved
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes

  1. Scoop the pulp from the passionfruit halves into a blender. The exotic fragrance of fresh passionfruit should start filling the air.

  5. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the juice mixture. The refreshing blend is almost ready to be enjoyed!
  6. Garnish with lime slices and a sprig of basil for a beautiful, family-friendly presentation.
