Description
Not only is this a great use of fresh mint, but it is simple to make and refreshing to boot.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ice
- 1-½ cup Water
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 whole Lime, Zest Only
- 6 whole Limes, Halved, Juiced
- ½ cups Fresh Mint Leaves
Preparation
Get a blender out, and add the ice, water, sugar, zest, and juice of all of the limes. Toss in the mint leaves. Blend.
That’s it. Simple, right? The fun part about making limeade is not only how delicious the end result is, but it is watching my daughter pick the leaves and juice the limes. It was her drink.
It was her drink that she loved. That I loved. A drink that was beyond the idea of a mojito. It is something that is just really refreshing when poured over ice. Something about this just created the start of our summer in Wisconsin.
Give it a shot, and heck, try lemons with the mint, because who knows, your creativity might just pay off. Happy summer everyone.
