Notes
- It is a personal preference but if you like your drink to be clear and pulp-free you can strain the strawberry mixture after blending. I don’t mind (rather prefer) bits of strawberries or basil while drinking it. Also it is one step less.
- Make sure you blend the strawberries and basil into a fine puree. As we don’t want anything getting stuck in a straw while drinking.
