Okay, we know you’re probably wondering what this is—and yes, it’s a little weird looking being green and all—but this basil lemonade is absolutely a 10/10.

This recipe was featured in this month’s Rooted Box, where we’re all about celebrating herbs in fresh, unexpected ways. Bright, refreshing, slightly sweet, and surprisingly addictive—trust us on this one.

And the best part? No added sugar.

The basil comes straight from HillTop Greens, and the honey is from Country View Honey — local ingredients!

Add lemon juice, honey, and basil to a blender. Blend until very smooth.
Stir or blend in cold water. Chill until ready to serve.

Dear Rooted community,

We need your help!

This year at the Rooted Table, we’re excited to do something a little different—and we’d love your help bringing it to life.

Our vision is to bring a piece of history onto the table through the plates we use. We’re hoping to collect 400 vintage 10-inch plates, each one carrying its own story from other people’s tables to ours.

If you have any vintage plates tucked away, or come across some while thrifting, please consider donating them to Project Rooted. Every plate will help us create a meaningful, shared experience.

If you’re willing to donate, send us a message—we truly appreciate your support!

With gratitude,
Project Rooted
