Ingredients:
2 cups hot water
Juice and zest from 4 large limes
Juice and zest from 1 lemon
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 sprigs fresh basil or tarragon
1 to 2 cups cold water
Ice cubes and fresh herbs to garnish

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the hot water, the lemon and lime juice and zest, and the sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then add the basil leaves. Blend either in the bowl with a submersible blender or transfer into a stand blender. Process until there are no large pieces of leaf left and the mixture has turned a nice green color. Strain into a clean pitcher, add the remaining water, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
2. When ready to serve, pour over glasses of ice and garnish with fresh herbs.
The faint taste of basil I did enjoy in this, however, the potency of the lime flavor was too much. I would half what the recipe calls for, and maybe even add a bit more sugar to help sweeten it a touch. It is a limeade, so it is not to be sickly sweet, but it is supposed to be enjoyed under a warm, sunny day. :)
I would not make this again personally.
