Homemade Mint Lemonade

06/12/16 | Beverages, Recipes, Summer

This Homemade Mint Lemonade is to die for and super duper easy to make! If the mint scares you a little, don’t worry, the mint helps the lemonade cool you down and it’s very subtle.

Homemade Mint Lemonade

I have a daughter that doesn’t drink soda, so lemonade is something we make a lot. This recipe is our go to recipe for lemonade because it’s so easy and so delicious.

Not only is this recipe delicious put it makes for a beautiful table centerpiece. Just look at how beautiful this is!

AND you can make about 3 pitcher-fulls of this refreshing lemonade with the same sliced lemons. So a total of 24 cups, 6 cups each batch.

I’ve made an easy to follow video for you too! Just watch how easy these are to make!

What you’ll need:

  • 6 large lemons
  • 8 mint leaves
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 6 cups water

Homemade Mint Lemonade

Thinly slice your lemons and remove all seeds and the ends of the lemons. Add the sliced lemons to a pitcher. Tear and smash the mint leaves to help bring out their flavor and add to the pitcher. Add the sugar to the pitcher and stir the lemons with a wooden spoon, lightly smashing the lemons to help release the lemon juice. Let the lemons “sweat” for about 5 minutes.

Add 6 cups water and stir well. Optional: Strain the lemonade if you don’t like pulp and serve.

    I usually use mint with lime but I bet this lemonade is delicious. I am always looking for some good summer drinks for my family and friends and this is going to be at our BBQ this weekend. Thanks for sharing 🙂
