Mint Lemonade
Hi Everyone, don't you just love an ice-y, glass of lemonade in the hot, Summer months?
Well, so do I and when you don't have central air conditioning you try and think of ways to make the drink even more cooling and refreshing, for example, adding fresh mint!
I have several mint varieties in my garden.
I use a variety called "Mojito Mint" for this Mint Lemonade recipe.
This Mint Lemonade recipe is inspired by my herb garden, and I have so many more garden-inspired recipes to share too!
Doing that garden this year, was the best thing <3
Ingredients
- 8-10 lemons, squeezed, and strained juice, washed, sliced in half
- 1 sliced lemon, for garnishing and to put in the pitcher
- ½ cup granulated white sugar, I recommend using organic, start with ½ cup and add more depending on how sweet you like your lemonade
- water, use amount depending on your pitcher size
- 5-10 fresh mint leaves, to taste, reserve some for garnishing
Kitchen Tools
- cutting board
- chef's knife
- I got this lemonade pitcher set at the beginning of the Summer, it's nice to have 2, so you can use one for iced tea.
- citrus squeezer (this is an updated version of what I have)
- mesh strainer
- These are cute lemonade glasses
- ice maker(from being pregnant over the Summer, I have become obsessed with ice as a way to help stay cool, I found this cool ice maker on Amazon Prime)
Web Story
I know you will love this Mint Lemonade recipe!
It also tastes great when mixed with iced tea.

Notes
I recommend chilling your lemonade glasses before using them, so they are frosty and cold, this helps keep your drink colder on hot days!
