Lemonade

To make lemonade, you’ll need:

  • Fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 cup)
  • Fresh mint leaves (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Sugar (about 3 cups)

To that, add:

  • Water and ice to taste. You can use bottled water or tap water if you prefer; either will work just fine! The amount of water depends on how sweet you want your final product to be. If it’s too tart for your taste, add more sugar. If is too sweet for your taste, reduce the amount of sugar accordingly and experiment until it hits just right!
