This is one of the most refreshing summertime drinks! I got the original recipe off the Williams-Sonoma site. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
2 cups water |
4 lemon peel strips, each about 3-inch long |
4 large mint sprigs |
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (8 - 10 lemons) |
3 (24 ounce) bottles sparkling water, chilled |
lemon slices and mint sprig (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil 1 minute.
2. Add lemon peel strips and mint sprigs (I prefer Kentucky mint, but any will work).
3. Cover and let stand 30 minutes to infuse syrup with flavors.
4. Strain through a sieve into a large pitcher.
5. Add lemon juice.
6. Stir well and chill for at least 2 hours.
7. At serving time, add sparkling water.
8. Place ice cubes in a glass, and fill with mint lemonade.
9. Enjoy!
