Dancing in the Kitchen, p. 11
¼ c. sugar
2 ¼ c. water
¾ c. freshly squeezed lemon juice (from
about 6 lemons)
½ c. loosely packed fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes
Lemon slices for garnish
Optional: 1 T. plain yogurt or 1 shot of
vodka
To make the simple syrup, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar and ¼ c. water over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Combine the simple syrup, remaining 2 c. water, lemon juice, and mint in a blender.

| And the vodka, I guess? I didn't know when else it would go in. |
Blend on high until the mint is liquified and the ingredients are
combined. Depending on the strength of your blender, you may wish to strain the
lemonade to remove any larger pieces of mint before serving. Taste and adjust
with more lemon juice, mint, or sugar, if you wish. Serve over ice and garish
with lemon slices.

My Rating: 5/5 "Adored this. There's a little sweetness, and that's fun, but the mint is really the kicker here. It adds a wonderful smooth vibe that keeps this from being a candy drink. Give it a shot while the weather's hot!"
