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
1/2 cup granulated white sugar, I recommend using organic, start with 1/2 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

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!
