Most Refreshing Frozen Mint Lemonade (Limonana)
Refreshing frozen mint lemonade (or Limonana) is a Middle Eastern classic made with just a handful of ingredients and blended together to create a deliciously sweet, slightly tart, and minty slushie drink!
Ingredients
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves
- ⅓-½ cup sugar start with ⅓
- ⅔ cup water
- 4 cups ice
Instructions
- COMBINE: The lemon juice, lime juice, mint leaves, sugar, and water in the blender. Blend for a minute or until the mint is broken down completely.
- SLUSHIE: Lift the lid, add ½ the ice. Close the lid and start the blender; if your blender has an opening in the lid, I suggest slowly adding the remaining ice while the blender is running so that it blends as you add it. Pour the frozen mint lemonade into your favorite glasses and decorate with lemon slices or a sprig of mint!
Notes
- LEMONS: out of season I do find that with more tart lemons I end up needing a bit more sugar than my usual ⅓ cup. I suggest starting there and tasting between steps 1 and 2 and adjusting with additional sugar as needed. Remember, you want it to be a bit sweeter when you taste the mixture because we'll water it down with the ice as it blends!
