leodrunewitchcraft:

basil is an herb i hold close to my heart as a witch, as it’s told in folklore that witches of old used basil to fly on their brooms. its magickal properties include steadying the mind, bringing happiness, love, harmony, and wealth.

lemons, rich with the aura of the moon, are excellent fruits for healing and cleansing

to make basil lemonade, you will need:

☾ ½ cup rinsed basil leaves

☾ 3 tbsp. sugar

☾ 4 cups water

☾ ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

in a bowl, combine the basil leaves and sugar. with a wooden spoon, crush the leaves with the sugar until crushed well. add water and lemon juice, and stir clockwise until the sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes). add more sugar to taste.

strain out basil leaves and serve over ice.
