Were you looking for a refreshing lemonade recipe to cool you down this summer? Look no further. With humidity at 85%, it was the perfect drink this weekend at The Mansion while we played cards under the shade. It was also very appreciated as we munched our way through the brunch table at Vera’s.
The mint I’ve used for this lemonade is no ordinary kind. I first noticed this mint in a salad my mom served at a dinner party. It looked and tasted nothing like the mint I was used to. The leaves are much smaller and crunchier than the ordinary kind and the smell is stronger. Upon further investigation, I’ve learned that it wasn’t store bought; it was plucked fresh from my father’s mini garden at our balcony. A week later, I had my own pot of mint. And a month later, now, I have enough mint to prepare mint lemonades all summer long!
