Equipment
- Blender like Blendtec
Ingredients
Measurement Details: 1 cup = 240ml; 1 tbsp = 15ml; 1 tsp = 5ml;
- 1 cup ice cubes or as required
- 1 cup mint leaves tightly packed, cleaned, and stems removed
- 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed (I used four medium-sized lemons)
- ½ cup sugar or to taste
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients in a blender or mixer jar - ice cubes, mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, and water.
- Blend them all together until smooth.
- Transfer it to serving glasses, add more ice cubes if needed, and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the sugar to taste. Instead of sugar, you can use stevia or monk sugar too.
- Alternatively, reduce the sugar and add agave nectar or maple syrup before serving.
- I don't strain the limonana, but if you don't prefer the tiny mint pieces, you can also strain the juice.
- Add more ice cubes and less water for a slushy mint lemonade.
