Frozen Mint Lemonade (Limonana) ~ a slushy, minty, Middle Eastern version of lemonade that is honestly the most refreshing drink I have ever had in my life.

Ingredients

• ½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, seeds removed, but keep the pulp, preferably cold
• 1 cup water (for a less tart lemonade, add 1/2 cup more water, but remember that the ice will dilute the lemon, too)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• a good handful of fresh mint leaves (not the stems) or about a packed 1/4 cup
• 2 heaping cups of ice cubes

Method

1. Dissolve the sugar in the water, stirring often the water is clear and all the grains have dissolved, this will take a couple of minutes. Mix with the lemon juice and chill until cold. You want to start with very cold lemonade.
2. Add the mint, lemonade mixture, and ice to a blender and blend until slushy.
3. Pour into glasses and serve immediately, garnished with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
