How to make mint lemonade
If you’ve ever wanted to try making your own lemonade, this recipe is for you! It’s quick and easy to make by following a few easy steps. Here’s how you do it:
Honey – makes it sweet and depending on the source can be floral, fruity, smoky, nutty, or earthy. Mint – fresh mint leaves give this drink its wonderful refreshing minty taste. Water – for making the mint syrup. Lemon juice – a generous amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice for its tart flavor. Lemon slices and mint leaves – optional for garnish, but makes it look really nice.
Add fresh fruit like in our blackberry lemonade and blueberry lemonade. Add a splash of fresh ginger juice for an added bit of zing Make an ultra-refreshing cucumber mint lemonade with fresh slices of cucumber Turn it into an adult drink with your favorite spirit like vodka or bourbon Use more or less honey depending on your desired sweetness
Serve it to family or friends with a shareable snack like our best easy chip dip or smoky chipotle guacamole dip. We also love it alongside easy summer barbecue meals like lemon salmon burgers, grilled buffalo chicken salad, or summertime easy caprese pizza.
