Recipe for Mint Lemonade:
4 cups water 2 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice (8-10 lemons) 1/4 cup finely diced mint 1 cup sugar
First, prepare your mint. My brother likes to de-vein the mint leaf, so it doesn’t taste too earthy, then dices it up super fine.
Then squeeze your fresh lemons. I highly suggest an automatic lemon squeezer, making the process of squeezing 10 lemons a snap.
Then add your water and sugar and blend. I love these blenders with spouts, I’m going to have to get one as I’ll be making this tasty drink a lot.
Now start sipping! The blend of lemon and mint is delicious. I also love the green flecks of mint that come out. You can strain the mint if you don’t want it to show up, but I think it makes the drink all the more fancy. This is one of my new favorite drinks. I love all things sour and this lemony drink fits right in. Thanks, Jeff, for sharing your yummy creation.
