Mint Lemonade

Posted on

Doesn’t Mint Lemonade sound divine? This is our new summer drink recipe (even when it’s not quite summer). 

Don’t worry. The mint simple syrup is no more difficult than boiling a pot of water, and adds wonderful flavor and aroma.

Ingredients
1 cup sugar
2 cups fresh mint leaves, with stems
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup ginger ale

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine sugar with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add mint, remove from heat, cover, and let liquid steep for 1 hour.

Strain liquid into a bowl. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine mint syrup, lemon juice, orange juice, and ginger ale. Serve over ice.
