Ingredients

  • A half cup of almond milk
  • Crushed ice, around half a cup, to your liking
  • The zest and juice of one lime
  • Ten fresh basil leaves
  • A hint of almond extract, about half a teaspoon
  • A tablespoon of water, if necessary

Step 1

Blend together a delightful medley of fresh cherries, creamy almond milk, a generous half cup of crushed ice, zesty lime zest, a splash of lime juice, fragrant basil leaves, and a touch of almond extract in a blender. Mix until the cherries and basil meld seamlessly, resulting in a velvety concoction. For a thicker consistency, toss in some additional ice, or for a lighter touch, sprinkle in a dash of water.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. - Keep fresh cherries in a breathable container in the refrigerator to maintain their plumpness and juiciness.
  2. - Store limes at room temperature or in the refrigerator crisper drawer to keep them fresh for longer.
  3. - Preserve basil by placing the stems in a glass of water and covering the leaves with a plastic bag to retain their flavor and texture.
