Mint Lemonade

Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 5 mins

I first had this on a hot day in Kuwait City at a fantastic Lebanese restaurant.  It's a cool and refreshing type of lemonade that just asks to be sipped on a porch on a warn evening, and is rather reminiscent of a virgin mojito.  Google can help you find anything, and this is the website that first gave me the recipe.

Ingredients:
Juice of 8 lemons (about 12-14 oz of juice)
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
2 bunches of mint (or more to taste)
3 cups water
18 ice cubes

Juice the lemons, straining out any seeds.  Pour into a blender.

Heat 2 cups water and 1 cup sugar to boiling, stirring constantly, to make a simple syrup.  Add this to the lemon juice along with the extra 3 cups of water, mint and ice cubes.  Blend until frothy and green.  Ice cubes should be completely crushed.

Serve.

Makes about 4 tall glasses worth.
