Basil Orange Juice

Have I mentioned how much I love basil? I’m sure I have, but I can’t say it enough. I’d put it in everything if I could, and one of my favorite things to pair it with is fruit. Usually berries, but in this Basil Orange Juice, it’s a stunningly delicious companion to citrus. This orange juice is a step above any orange juice you’ve had before (well, any that didn’t have alcohol added, anyway!) and is a great morning pick-me-up whether it’s an ordinary day or a fancy Sunday brunch. I especially love it with mild sausage and scrambled eggs.
