Fresh Mint Lemon-Limeade


All summer our favorite drink was this minty lemon-limeade:

Fresh Mint Lemon-Limeade

3 cups of ice
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
a few mint leaves (5+ big leaves, more if the leaves are small)
1 cup sugar

In a saucepan combine the sugar with a few tablespoons of water and heat, stirring occasionally till the sugar is dissolved (about 3 to 5 minutes, or maybe less, I don't remember).

Fill blender with ice, then fill with water till the waterline is about a 1/2 inch or so above the top of the ice. Add juices and sugar water and mint leaves. Blend until the ice gets light and fluffy, and a little frothy.

Note: All measurements are approximate. Sorry for the lack of precision.

This could be a cure for pms (not that I'd know, and certainly not the color kind, which can be a cure for the other kind). Matches pms 365, and is a very nice complement to Josh's pizza.

You little cookers do it up right! Glad to see your blog, I love the name. "What is your favorite color?" is Steve O's favorite question.
