Ingredients

• 2 oz/60ml peach puree
• 1 oz/30ml lemon juice
• 6-8 basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• Top with kombucha or soda (I used the Remedy ginger kombucha and it was insanely good!)

Directions

• Place peach puree and lemon juice in a shaker. Add basil and muddle very gently
• Place the honey with half a teaspoon of water into a small dish and microwave briefly (5 seconds max!), then mix with a spoon to create a quick honey syrup
• Add the syrup to the shaker with some ice, replace the lid and shake well
• Strain over ice and top with your choice of kombucha or soda (I love ginger kombucha for this recipe)

Garnish And Serve

• To make the peach purée, blend 5 tinned peach slices with 1-2 tablespoons of liquid from the tin
• You could also use half a fresh peach with 1-2 tablespoons water if you wish
