Homemade Lemon-Basil Jello...

Lemons!!! From cooking to medicinal uses, this is definitely the PERFECT fruit...to me!   So, when I saw this homemade jello recipe on A Cup of Jo (amazing blog),  I immediately bookmarked it and made it right away.  It was the super yummy end to a Summer meal with welcomed guests..."irritatingly perfect"!  

Just think...fresh lemon basil from the farmers market steeped in hot hot hot fresh lemon juice, organic sugar, and water.  Then mixed in with fresh orange juice and of course gelatin...amazing!  

I poured the mixture in little ramekins for individual servings topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a lemon basil leaf.  

 all ready for the fridge...

Joanna from A Cup of Jo was definitely right..."best jello you'll ever have!"

Now, that just screams Summer!
