The Hot Pink Lemonade Kit

4 fresh lemons
1 generous bunch of fresh opal basil
1 8 oz jar of Bill’s Bees Raw Wildflower Honey

Everything you need to make one beautiful pitcher of naturally pink lemonade — just add water and ice.

Three ingredients. No powdered mix, bottled syrup or pink dye.

The color comes from the opal basil itself. Its naturally occurring purple pigments shift toward a vivid rosy pink when they meet fresh lemon juice — so part of the fun is watching your lemonade change color as you make it.

Tart, lightly herbal, floral and sweetened with local wildflower honey.

I love that the prettiest part of this lemonade is also coming directly from the plant.

Opal basil gets its deep purple color from anthocyanins, antioxidant plant pigments also found in foods like berries and purple cabbage. Fresh lemon contributes vitamin C, and we use wildflower honey instead of refined white sugar.

It’s still lemonade, but made the way I prefer it: with whole, recognizable ingredients and a little nutritional upside built in.

Hot LA afternoons, pool days, brunch, dinner outside, hosting friends, kids who want to watch their lemonade turn pink — and adults who absolutely do too.

Opal Basil: This is a delicate, highly perishable fresh herb and is best used the day it arrives or within 1–2 days for the strongest color, flavor and aroma. Keep the bunch unwashed in the coolest spot in your kitchen, away from direct sunlight and heat. Because basil is sensitive to refrigerator temperatures, prolonged refrigeration can cause wilting, darkening and loss of quality.

Lemons: Refrigerate until ready to use.

Honey: Store at room temperature.

Mama’s tip: This kit is meant to be made fresh. If you can, plan on making your pink lemonade shortly after delivery — that’s when the opal basil is at its prettiest.

Available for farm-to-door delivery throughout much of Los Angeles every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
