Homemade lemonade with mint
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To make lemonade, the fruits don't need to be heat-treated—simply crush the lemon slices together with mint and sugar to release their aroma and flavor, mix with chilled water, and let it steep in the cold. You can prepare the drink in the morning and enjoy it throughout the day, cooling off from the summer heat.
