How To Make It
- Add the sliced strawberries and basil to a pitcher.
- Press them gently against the side with a spoon to release their flavor.
- Pour in the cold water and stir.
- Chill 30 minutes, then serve over ice.
Fix It: If the water tastes plain, press the strawberries a little more and give it longer to chill, since the flavor builds slowly in cold water.
