I love the gingery-zing, and the mint flavour that this delicious lemonade has. Very refreshing. 40 minutes passive cooking time is actually steeping time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup packed chopped fresh mint leaves |
1/3 cup chopped fresh ginger |
1/3 cup honey |
2 cups boiling water |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (or to taste) |
1 1/2 cups cold water |
ice cube |
fresh mint leaves |
lemon slice |
Directions:
1. Combine chopped mint, ginger and honey in medium bowl; add boiling water and allow to steep for 30-40 minutes; strain into 4-cup glass measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract liquid; add lemon juice and enough cold water to measure 4 cups total.
2. Fill glasses with ice cubes; add lemonade; garnish with mint leaves and fresh lemon slices.
3. Note: If you like to 'tipple' (I know I do:-)), spike this with some vodka!!!
