Cold Beverage (Mint Limeade)

Mint Limeade

Ok, so I know this is out of the ordinary, but I wanted to share this…

I’m hooked on mint limeade this summer, so I wanted to share my mint limeade recipe.  It’s not exactly sugar free, but it is delicious.  You’ll thank me later this summer when you’re drinking this while it’s hot outside…

There’s only 4 ingredients…

  • 1 bag of limes
  • 1 package of mint leaves (usually a few sprigs)
  • Water
  • Sugar

Tear the mint leaves off of the stems, and add it to 1 1/2 cups sugar with 2 cups of water.  Mix this together, and boil it.  Once it’s boiling, take if off the burner, and stick it in the fridge.

Juice enough limes to get 1 1/2 cups of lime juice.  This usually ends up being about a bag of limes.

Once the mint syrup is cooled down, dump it into a pitcher (with the mint leaves still in it), add the 1 1/2 cups of lime juice, and add 8 cups of cold water.  Stir it up.

Put some salt or some sugar on the rim of your favorite glass, add some ice, and pour this over it.

I’m tellin’ ya, you’re gonna be glad you did.
