Homemade Lemonade with Mint and Lemon Ingredients

• 2-3 lemons
• 5 liters of water
• 500g sugar
• peppermint
• ice

Preparation

1. Send 2 lemons to the freezer. Wait for them to freeze properly, then it will be easier to rub them on the grater. Soak the lemons with the peel on the grater.
   
   
   
2. Put the grated lemons in a five-liter bagel. At this stage, I was faced with the first difficulties. The neck of my jar turned out to be narrow, only a teaspoon penetrates into it, and then without a slide. And frozen lemon crumbs stick to everything warm, including the funnel I was trying to use.
   
   
   
   The right decision came from the second attempt. Grated lemon is easier to mix with water and in this form pour through the funnel. Or you should immediately look for a plastic can with a wide neck. Unfortunately, I didn't have one.
   
   
3. Fill the lemon grated with sugar.
   
   
   
4. Pour lemons and sugar with water.
   
   
   
5. Well shake the contents of the eggplant and let it brew for at least 2 hours. The sugar at the bottom of my jar didn't want to dissolve, so I put it on my side.
6. Tear off the stems of the mint leaves, slice the remaining lemon. Put a couple of slices of lemon, ice, some mint in the decanter.
   
   
   
7. Filter the lemonade.
   
   
   
8. Pour the mint and slices of lemon with filtered lemonade, chill and serve to the table.
   
   
   
9. A stirring homemade lemonade with mint and lemon is ready. The taste of it was more intense than I expected. In the future, I will try to add an orange or replace one of the lemons with lime.

To keep the mint fresh longer, wrap it in a wet towel, put it in a plastic bag and send it to the refrigerator. With such storage, mint will retain freshness and aroma for up to 2 weeks.
