Homemade lemonade with mint
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. When making lemonade, remember that ice should preferably be made from boiled water. If you're extremely thirsty, you can drink it almost immediately after the hot water has cooled down quickly. I prefer to let the drink sit for a while until the ice melts a bit. Perfect for hot weather! It really quenches thirst. Serve chilled.
