Mint Lemonade
What you need
- 4 lemons
- a handful of mint
- half cup sugar
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Blend the mint with the sugar and a little water, strain, then mix with lemon juice and cold water to taste. Serve very cold.
How it feels to make
Blending the mint into the sugar first is what makes it green instead of just lemony.
Mom wrote on the back
Strain it properly. Bits of mint in the glass are nobody's favourite.
