Course Drinks
Keyword mint lemonade
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 6-8 lemons
  • 3/4 cup liquid cane sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves loosely packed
  • 4-5 cups cold water
  • Plenty of ice
  • Extra lemon slices and mint sprigs for serving

Instructions

  • Squeeze your lemons and add the juice to a large pitcher. About 6-8 lemons gets you to that 1 cup mark. Roll them on the counter first to get the most juice out of each one.
  • Roughly chop the mint leaves, add them to a large pitcher, and muddle them in the lemon juice
  • Pour the liquid cane sugar over the mint. Stir well.
  • Add the cold water, starting with 4 cups. Taste and adjust. More water if you want it milder, more lemon juice if you want more pucker.
    mint infused lemonade is a fresh and clean summer beverage!
  • Add ice, garnish with lemon slices and a fresh sprig of mint, and serve immediately.

Notes

To strain out the mint before serving, pour through a fine mesh strainer into a second pitcher. Or leave it in. Totally your call!
