Middle eastern mint lemonaide (first try)




My Daughter is home for easter vacation. and for her comparative politics class she needs to do a presention on Syria, and if she brings in food, she gets extra credit. now who isnt going to want to cook for extra credit????

Mint Lemonade

3/4 cup Lemon juice (fresh sweezed)
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup chopped mint leaves, packed
6-8 cups water (to taste)

Place all ingredients in a blender, starting with 6 cups water. Blend well, taste and add more water as necessary.


Now, this is INCREDIBLY refreshing, BUT here at the farm, we have a creek that runs right behind the house and mint grows wild there. so everyone in the house agrees while this tastes excellent, and its refreshing, it reminds us too much of drinking water strait from the fishing hole.

so we probably wont make this again, BUT i f you dont live here with us, then i highly recommend you giving this a try!
