Strawberry Basil Yerba Mate

First, prepare your ingredients. You'll need:

• 1/2 pound washed, hulled strawberries (about one medium-sized container from the grocery store of farmers market)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon powdered (or other) sugar
• 1 sprig basil (about eight large leaves)
• 2 cups iced or cold-brewed yerba mate, brewed with water that's below boiling

Once you've assembled you're ingredients, go ahead and put everything but the yerba mate into a blender.
