    I love this recipe, but I add a lot more lemon juice (~1/4-1/3 c for a stronger, more acidic taste to balance out the amount of sugar.

    I made this recipe with 1 1/2 c. sugar rather than the 2 c. it calls for. I plan to make this again, but with even less sugar. The blend of basil and lemon have a great potential.
