-
In the bottom of a large pitcher, add mint and basil. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice plus 1-2 tablespoons agave and a few drops of stevia. Gently muddle until fragrant but not shredded.
-
Add the remaining lemon juice and lime juice. Stir in the rest of the agave and stevia until dissolved.

Notes
- Related but different from Sparkling Strawberry Basil Lemonade on this site (this one is lemon-lime with mint and basil, no strawberry).
- Optional variation: make a French press concentrate.
