Preparation
  1. Muddle the blackberries and basil in a bowl until the berries are broken down and juicy.
  2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove seeds (optional).
  3. Squeeze the lemons and add the fresh lemon juice to the blackberry mixture.
  4. Dissolve the sweetener in a little warm water, then stir it into the lemonade.

Notes

Store any leftovers in a sealed pitcher in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you added sparkling water, it's best enjoyed fresh.
