How to make it
5 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Squeeze the 4 lemons
Squeeze the 4 lemons to obtain fresh juice, ensuring no seeds are included.
Combine the lemon juice, 1 cup of fresh mint leaves, 1/2 cup sugar
In a blender, combine the lemon juice, 1 cup of fresh mint leaves, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 cup of the cold water.
Blend on high speed
Blend on high speed until the mint is finely chopped and the mixture is well combined.
Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water and the 2 cups of ice cubes
Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water and the 2 cups of ice cubes to the blender. Pulse a few times until the ice is crushed and the drink reaches a slushy consistency.
Pour into glasses and garnish
Pour into glasses and garnish with an extra sprig of mint or a lemon slice. Serve immediately while cold.
A little kitchen wisdom
For the best flavor, use fresh-squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar depending on the tartness of your lemons.
